BEAUTIFUL BIRDS

Josephine Dowell, R.N. with her late husband, Dr. J. Larry Dowell, M.D.—a specialist in family medicine, moved to Maranatha Village (MV) in 2013.

Josephine was the Director of Nursing at Springfield Hospital back in the 50s.  She graduated from Southwest Missouri State University 70 years ago this year and was featured in an article in the MSU Southwest Standard “70 Years a Bear” in last fall’s Homecoming edition.

L. Jonathan Dowell, Ph.D., visiting from New Mexico, enjoys sharing his hobby of bird photography with his mother, Josephine. Some of Jonathan’s photos taken of birds in MV are featured below. His other bird photos can be viewed at http://www.instagram.com/SnowyEgretPhotography

Jonathan’s favorite photo from MV is this mated pair of Red-Bellied
Woodpeckers calling to one another at the top of a snag
just south of MV lake.

Northern Cardinal—a familiar species also in the Ozarks all year long.
