Some birds do the unthinkable and abandon
their young chicks, flying south without them. The Bristle-thighed
Curlew and the Short-tailed Shearwater actually leave the poor chicks
before they have ever flown from their nest. They fly to a distant
country thousands of miles away. They leave no directions for their
little ones to follow. Yet, as is common with God's magnificent
creatures, the little chicks do what God planned for them to do. They
jump from their nests, find their own food, fatten up for their flight,
and flock together with other abandoned chicks to fly to the very spot where their parents are. They fly 5,000 miles without ever stopping.
How do they know where to go? How do they know not to stop? Remember,
these little chicks have never been anywhere before and they have no
parents to guide them on their journey. The incredible flights of these
and other migratory birds point unmistakably to God....
