Baby Bird.jpg

This little bird proved to be a challenge! His mother was frantically calling to him, warning him that the big, bad human was near. I had difficulty getting the camera to focus on HIM rather than the little flowers in front of him. So naturally, the ONE shot I managed to get him in focus he manages to hide his face behind a bloom! What a brat, a cute one, but still a brat!

Jim,

Hopefully little "O.T." is doing well. I turned him loose a week ago. He flew up into a tree and perched there for a couple of hours. I listened to him calling back and forth with the finches. It was almost as if he was telling his family all about where he had been and what adventures he had experienced. I took him back to the exact same area where we rescued him to begin with. When I left that evening, he was still singing with the other birds. I like to think he is doing just fine!

Very cute, doesn't he know it's not nice to hide from Mother Nature.
BTW, how's O.T.?
