@@robertecarpenter it’s too late here. I’ll check them out. Ta.

There is a fabulous bird-watching location near Houston. It is called High Island. Take Interstate 10 North about 50 miles. Spring and fall are best. A lot of these shots were taken there.

@@robertecarpenter Ok

Sunshine, You are so sweet. God Bless you. RC

Hi Sunshine. I can always count on you being #1. Which one do you think is most beautiful. Blessin's to you and yours.

@@robertecarpenter The buntings are spectacular but really, all have some special thing that makes them unique, even the plain little wrens. And I didn’t know that roadrunners are cuckoos? I do enjoy these videos very much and always look forward to new ones. And more Sunday school lessons, please? God bless you and your family, too!

Sunshine, You are #1!

@@robertecarpenter Nope, not me 😂 Please post more of your Sunday School lessons? They were excellent!

go to Southern Oaks Church: Connect: Sermons. I just preached 3/17/24 about God’s Omniscience. Pastor Joe called me 10 minutes before pre-service music practice. He was sick and asked me to substitute for him. Here it is. southernoakschurch.com/connect/watch @@sunshine2528

@@robertecarpenter It was a very good message for right now, when things are more uncertain than ever before. Thank you.

vireogilvus, you are probably right. I was lulled into this identification by an "expert" who was there with his entourage when i saw this bird and he called it a Virginia Rail. For differential identification ... All About Birds says, "Clapper Rail is larger than Virginia Rail with less distinct barring on the flanks and a paler bill." Birdwatching Academy says, "Virginias are much smaller in size, with more reddish bills. They also have more distinctly gray cheeks." With no comparison available, I still am not sure which one it is.

well, I'm certainly open to being wrong, and like I said, I have no experience in that neck of the woods. But to me it looks big and fairly pale/muted, and the call seems "off" compared to the Virginia's I'm used to@@robertecarpenter

Hello Guy, Thanks for your gracious comment. I have had to quit birding because of health problems (3 kinds of heart surgeries, 3 knee surgeries + nosocomial infection, 3 cases of COVID all in 12 months) and a wife who can no longer travel. Bummer. I just retired from 55 years of dentistry and thought I was going to really get to see some birds. The panasonic was disappointing in low light so I seldom used it back when I was shooting videos. The slow-motion videos are difficult … they require bright sunlight to get decent (1080 maybe) resolution. All slow-motion videos are shot on the Sony RX10iii or iv. You might like my video of Life In Slow Motion at kzbin.info/www/bejne/eZaYdmyDaa93pac . I also have a lot of 4K bird, butterfly, dragonfly etc videos on my channel. RobertCarpenter@robertecarpenter Blessin’s to you and yours Rob

That's what i would think. but the Panasonic is on the shelf. I seldom use it for two reasons: Poor low light performance compared to Sony, and Sony has 240, 460 and 980 fps which i use a lot. Catch my Life In Slow Motion, at kzbin.info/www/bejne/p3SwaqOuetOlq7s and Spectacular Dragonflies at kzbin.info/www/bejne/omiveZ-ibNKIb6c every shot in those videos were shot with the Sony RX-10 simply because that's what I carry. Rob

Thanks Danie. You made my day. I hope you will subscribe. I have lots of videos of birds and flowers I think you will enjoy. Rob

Thanks Sunshine. I always appreciate your comments RC

@@robertecarpenter I comment because your videos are wonderful! Please share more of your Bible studies, if possible? We enjoyed them very much! Thank you.

Thank you so much for the correction. You are right. I will correct it as soon as possible. 561 people saw it. You are the first one to catch it. Rob

There is. For iPhone it is called Birdsong. I have used it a few times. Never got the right answer yet. What really works well is having my son or grandson with me.

@@robertecarpenter The Merlin Bird ID app is great for identifying birdsongs.

Crystal. Houston is a great place for birdwatching. Make sure you go to High Island (about one hour up the coast from you) during the Spring migration (March - May). It is literally one of the best places in the world to see lots of birds. Your little greenish job could be a female painted bunting, or a Tennessee warbler. There are numerous good apps available for smart phones. i recommend iBird pro. Rob

@@robertecarpenter Thank you , that sounds like a good idea 💡.

right ajs1501: you would not want to see a lot of my face.

I agree... but I originally came here to hear someone pronounce Aransas. Ha ha...

@@live2walk you'd love to hear me. i took a Speaking For Professional Men class at Texas A&M in 1959. Even my fellow Texans laughed at my country boy accent. i think i can pronounce Arkansas 3 different ways. none would get your approval.

Hi Marcel. On March 28, 2000, a powerful F3 tornado struck Downtown Fort Worth. Since 2011 there have been 23 tornadoes within 30 miles of Fort Worth. The following link may be helpful. www.homefacts.com/tornadoes/Texas/Tarrant-County/Fort-Worth.html

@@robertecarpenter I’m scared my family and I are suppose to live to Fort worth Texas. We are from Michigan. Also as far as nature goes I know Texas have Africanized honey bees which are super aggressive. I’m scared.

@@marceld8961 I can definitely empathize with your apprehension. I moved to Texas from Arizona, which doesn't really have any natural disasters (except for perpetual drought/flash floods). I was especially nervous about tornadoes, but I've come to realize that the tornadoes here are nothing like the tornadoes in places in Oklahoma (which are the ones the portrayed in movies). The duration of Texas tornados tend to be pretty short, and they don't usually travel nearly as far as they do in "tornado alley" states. I've been in Texas for five years, and I've gotten used to the dozen or so yearly tornado warnings issued in my area. I'd say the hardest thing, weather-wise, to deal with has been the allergies and the constant hot/cold temperature fluctuations. Don't be scared, the odds are in your favor. As long as you don't end up on the coast, having to deal with the constant threat of hurricanes and flooding, it's all good.

@@marceld8961 Also, about the Africanized Bees, that is a real thing. My husband was, and his crew, were swarmed a couple years back. However, they were all able to outrun the bees, they managed to dive for cover in their trucks. Husband said they were able to outrun them because they heard the loud buzzing before they even saw them. So if you hear sudden loud buzzing, find cover ASAP!

@@ohreally1997 What part of Texas were the bees at? Also what were they doing like where did they find the bees?

Thanks Sunshine!!! Thanks for the wonderful tip on "Breath of His mouth". I had missed that because I read the old King James which says, "By the Spirit of His mouth". Hebrew word "ruah" translated by 17 different English words in the KJV. Spirit 232 times, wind 92 times, and breath 27 times and 14 others. How I wish I could speak Hebrew.

@@robertecarpenter I think there’s very little that you miss! 😉 I’ve been using the Bible Hub app a bit because I can scan verses and see the different translations and consider them. Have you seen the commentaries about how the Bible has changed? The lion lying down with the wolf, instead of the lamb, etc? Very strange… Please keep posting your classes. We in my Bible study group are enjoying them so much. Thank you.

@@sunshine2528 I love Bible Hub. I have probably used it 15 or so times tonight (maybe 40 or so times per week) working on tomorrow's lesson. Blue letter Bible is great. I spent a lot of money years ago on Word Search before all these good freebies were available. I am so familiar with it that it is my "go to" Bible program. Yes, all of those changes are interesting. Many of them though are not faithful to the Hebrew and Greek manuscripts. I like the translations that try to go word for word. I don't like the idea of inserting an idea or phrase for obvious words when there is a good literal translation. God is a "Word" Person. He named His Son "The Word". It does not say, "In the beginning there was the idea and the idea became flesh"! In the beginning was "The Word".

@@robertecarpenter Indeed, Jesus is The Word! Thank you- I hadn’t thought to do a word search on those “changed” words and phrases. Now I have a new mission! It has deeply troubled me when I’ve gone to my really old Bibles that belong to my grandmother and her father, and they seem changed. Please keep posting your good teachings. We enjoy them very much.

Thank you so much. Robby
