Hawk vs. Squirrel


The Cooper's Hawk was back. But this time, he met his match.




It was a sight to see. I can't help but wonder what prompted the squirrel to attack the hawk, but it sure made a great video. I am just thankful for the opportunity to capture it all and share it.

Oh give thanks to the LORD; call upon His name; make known His deeds among the peoples! Sing to Him, sing praises to Him; tell of all His wondrous works! Glory in His holy name; let the hearts of those who seek the LORD rejoice! Seek the LORD and His strength; seek His presence continually! Remember the wondrous works that He has done, His miracles, and the judgments He uttered.
- 1 Chronicles 16:8-12; Psalm 105:1-5 

How amazing to look at these creatures, living, thinking, interacting, and even fighting, and to realize that God made them. He initiated this incredible system of life that we see every day on earth.


Such glorious wonders, yet so easy to overlook. How easy to get caught up in our own lives and forget to look beyond ourselves to a world that's going on outside of us, not just in nature, but in the world. God is doing things in this world, and most of them take place outside of us. In fact, even those things which we are a part of are beyond us. Let us not get so caught up in our own little worlds that we forget that this is our Father's world. He has a plan and it is being enacted. What a shame it would be to miss it!

Awesome pics Sam...especially of the hawk!

Love what you said here:

"God is doing things in this world, and most of them take place outside of us. In fact, even those things which we are a part of are beyond us. Let us not get so caught up in our own little worlds that we forget that this is our Father's world. He has a plan and it is being enacted."

Amen to that a thousand times over! Wishing you a blessed day!
