| An Indian House Sparrow |
Four days ago as I was grabbing a cup of coffee from my percolator I noticed a sparrow perched on the ledge outside of the window. It was chirping and seemed distressed. As I began to watch the creature it started moving about rapidly, chirping and glancing about now and then. Suddenly it dawned on me that this was the first time I had really taken time to examine an Indian sparrow.
It's appearance was not much different from the American Midwest sparrows that live where I come from. In fact I couldn't discern any difference without googling for a photo of one from back home.
It didn't take long before the idea came to get up really close and take a detailed clip of it. I find it helpful to every now and then examine and meditate on God's creation as an aid to seeing the majesty and glory of God.
Here is the clip,
(Hint: I made this one available in High Quality, You might want to switch to 'HQ' to see all the clarity possible.)
Enjoy!

You're right...the bird looks very much like our sparrow of the Midwest. I learned as a child on the farm that our sparrows were "English Sparrows" imported from England in the 1850s to control caterpillars that were destroying shade trees. Naturally man's intervention in the scheme of things produced unexpected results...the English sparrow spread to almost the entire country. Still...they are pretty little things, and if you hold one in your hand you sense even more deeply the wonderfulness of God's creative hand.
