So, yesterday, I was at a lake with some friends. While sitting down, we spotted two birds engaged in a dogfight. The attacker was a bald eagle. I don’t know what the other bird was. But what ensued was pretty cool and amazing. The other bird was trying to escape from the eagle, and they kept flying in circles. They were wheeling and diving. Eventually we noticed that the bird had a fish in its talons, and that, we assumed, was what the eagle was really after. They came pretty close to us, about twenty feet just overhead. We didn’t manage to see the final outcome as the birds eventually flew past us while still engaged in their aerial combat. There were quite a few times that the eagle looked as if it was going to get the bird, but the bird always managed to turn away.
I just thought that it was pretty cool to see God’s creation come to live even in “combat.” Eagles are my favorite birds, and I enjoy watching dogfights documentaries. So putting two and two together made a really cool air show. Plus, it’s free and practically at my doorstep! God’s creation is wonderful, and He has a lot to show us.
Thank you God for what you have shown me! and what you continue to show me!
