Pine Siskins, Ionia...

[Dave Slager]

While we're on the subject, I woke up this morning really wanting to
see a flock of Pine Grosbeaks.  I prayed that I would find exactly 29
of them along M-57 between Podunk Ave and Montcalm Ave while driving
home from work, but I saw zilch.  They would have been a new bird for
my Kent County list.  Why didn't God answer my prayer and let me see
Pine Grosbeaks this afternoon?  Did I do something wrong to deserve
this?  Or does God just choose to let my bird sightings happen
randomly?  One thing seems for certain...if I could figure this whole
prayer thing out, I could set tons of new bird listing records.
