I grew up on a corn and peanut farm in Texas and still live here. In the spring when the corn was first breaking ground , meadow larks, red winged black birds and grackles would wreak havock on the lucious new shoots and left to do their work would literally ruin acres. My dad would use propane operated pop guns to scare them but eventually even then the birds would have to be destroyed. One morning when I was little,my dad had a prarie chicken follow him and start drumming. He came back to get me so I could experience it. Sure enough when we returned to the field the prarie chicken flew over to us and began putting on his show, this went on for a pretty long period. If we drove away he would just follow us and start drumming again. Now this was interesting in itself but that is not what I considered the most interesting. We have never had up to that time or since that time had prarie chickens in our area and we have hunted our farm and the surrounding area as long as I can remember.
My opinion is sometime things just don't need an explanation. I choose to think like the song "I Saw God Today" reflects by country singer George Straite. I think God is just letting us know he's still around and watching.
