In the backyard
Added 2021-04-24 23:32:24 +0000 UTCMy mowing was cut short yesterday. I was riding along when I spotted something moving in the long grass before me. I thought initially that it was a toad, but I was mistaken. It was a baby bird. I turned off the mower, and became aware of the cardinals that were chirping and flapping in earnest. It didn’t take long to figure out that they were instructing their little one to take cover. He was scooped up in a flower pot and replaced into the nest. I didn’t mean to disrupt this family moment, so I gave up on mowing. The lawn in the back remained as it was: half done. Today brought rain and storms. When I collected the eggs from the chicken coop this evening, I looked to the nest. The tree with the nest had been disheveled from the storm, and there on a branch sat the baby bird.

that really says something about how tough baby birds are. that it made it through that storm and was sitting on a branch. oh my.
