Of all of the world's creatures birds are the most visible of nature's ambassadors. Their lilting song, fanciful flights and entertaining antics cannot help but attract human attention, drawing us into the natural world. As the winged freedom of these avian friends tug at our earth-bound selves and give us a glimpse of the ultimate liberation of the soul, so too birds sometimes appear as envoys from the spirit world; fleeting emissaries of loved ones who have passed to the other side. When such an encounter occurs a person simply knows in one's heart that this is no ordinary lark, hummingbird, egret or owl. Rather this visitation is somehow a loved one letting us know in a unique and personal way that they are fine, not too worry, that the spirit continues, thus helping to lighten the grief and sorrow.
