Birds fly back and forth across the Earth. They need warmth and food. Arctic terns go from near the South Pole back to the North Pole.

Red-necked phalaropes [fal-uh-rohps] go from Scotland to Peru. How far do birds near you fly when winter or spring comes?

Pray: Do you ever sing the hymn, “All Things Bright and Beautiful”? The writer reminds us that God created “each little bird that sings.” He “made their tiny wings.” Notice the birds around you. Thank God for these wonderful creatures.

Great snipes do not stop on their 4,000-mile flights between Sweden and Africa. Pied flycatchers fly at night. They use the stars to guide them. God gave birds hollow bones, wings that catch air, and lungs that use oxygen well. That keeps birds from getting tired. Genesis 1:20 says, “Let birds fly above the Earth across the expanse of the heavens.”
