(Genesis 1:20-23 MSG) God spoke: "Birds, fly through the sky over Earth!" God created every kind and species of flying birds. God saw that it was good. God blessed them: "Prosper! Reproduce! Birds, produce on Earth!" It was evening; it was morning -- Day Five. There are estimated to be about 18,000 types of birds in the world; this is twice the approximation of 2016. In the last 4 years 150 species have become extinct. I've seen gulls, herons, egrets, and the pterodactyl-like pelicans soaring above and fishing in the waves. Lakes, ponds, bayous, streams, and rivers are filled with God's winged creatures floating on the surface or standing in the reeds along the bank. Songbirds often fill the early morning hours with their shrill singing outside my window. I thrill to be able to hear, see, and photograph these amazing creations. Can you imagine the music and flutter of wings in the air on Day Five?
