This is a purple finch resting atop a bird box . . .
that was meant for the bluebird family . . .
but was seized and claimed by this feisty chickadee and mate.Sometimes things aren't what they appear to be . . .
or what they are supposed to be . . .
But life goes on!
For the child of God, everything will turn out just fine in the end.
And life will go on forever . . . . . . . . . . . . . and ever!
Just sayin' . . .
Farther along we'll know all about it;
Farther along we'll understand why.
Cheer up, my brother; live in the sunshine.
We'll understand it all bye and bye.

Funny! They are all beautiful bird though!
Hi Glenda, Yes--life goes on!!!!! Last year, the Chickadees try to take the Bluebird nestbox--but the Bluebirds fought for it and took it back... I felt a little sorry for the Chickadees... Oh Well...

Yes, you start out with plans and then life zags you instead of zigging with you. Yet you adjust and life goes on. I can't imagine doing the zig/zag life dance without the Trinity to help me through it all.
Beautiful birds, but the chickadee looked a bit of a small bully.
What great shots you got!!! Oh , the poor bluebirds!! I guess they are now among the meek of the earth!! We love this song, we also like a version by the Peasall sisters.
Wonderful bird shots. I'm still waiting for my first bluebird shot, although it's not their fault. They're here and I just haven't been concentrating on them. Thanks for reminding me!
Isn't it wonderful to know that this isn't all that there is to look forward to? I guess every little bird needs a home. Carla
A little flock of purple finches flew in here this week-end with their beautiful colors.
Love this post and the pictures. I guess we all do the best we can with what we've got...hope the bluebirds find a home.

We have a little bird who is trying to make a nest in a lamp by our front door. They make such a mess that we are not excited to have her make a nest there. Hopefully she will get tired of redoing her house and find another place. I do feel guilty about it though. God creatures do need a place to lay there eggs. But we do have several bird houses around. Go figure.........
Sure Life goes on, I do love the bird pics also
I always enjoy seeing your photos. We are big bird lovers in our family. So thanks for the great shots of your friends.
And I take much much comfort, all the time, in the fact that things work out for my good when I am living in God's will. It sure takes the pressure off of my trying to figure things out :)
You are always an encouragement to me.
LOVE it! :) Funny story + great pictures + wonderful life lesson = A perfect post!
The good news is, at least the birds that swiped the birdhouse are a species that is attractive and fun-to-watch
Lovely shots!
