Description

“Eagerly Waiting”

Three Northern Flicker chicks eagerly awaited their parent’s return, hungry for the loving nourishment they needed to grow strong. To peer from the nest, they had to cling to the rough inner walls of the tree cavity—the nest floor lay inches below them. Clinging with urgency and dependence, they strained upward, fueled by instinct and need.

I waited too, camera and tripod positioned at a respectful distance. After an hour and a half, a parent arrived with a mouth full of food. I was able to capture the moment on video. Northern Flickers primarily eat ants and small insects, which the parent partially digests before regurgitating the meal for the chicks.

The experience stirred something deeper in me—a reminder of my Creator’s faithful provision. The fervent anticipation these chicks showed as they reached for the intimate connection of being fed became a vivid reflection of my own spiritual hunger. “Open your mouth wide, and I will fill it.” What a beautiful encouragement to trust and receive.
