Today after church we went outside and discovered a Killdeer bird who had layed eggs within the decorative rocks on the church property. We walked semi-close to the bird and eggs. The bird, standing 2 feet in front of her eggs, squawked at us for the entire 5 min. we sat watching. Her feathers were out, and she was threateningly mad. I decided that since it was Mother's Day, it wasn't nice to stress this little mother bird out like that, so we walked away. I know that this is a common thing in nature, but it was really sweet to see on Mother's Day. I love how she, in the face of these giant humans, who could easily squash her if we wanted to, braved up to protect her little ones. Motherhood brings innate responsibility and love, and I am so grateful I am privileged enough to be a mother.
That's all.
