Birth is mystical
life is magical
this is nature’s show right outside my window
Watched his parents build the mud nest
lay the eggs
the two hatched and chirped for food
this one fell into my lap when he first tried to fly
now he lives in the tree and feasts off what he finds in the yard
I think my Chickadees have long since hatched… I hadn’t seen them for awhile. But then just the other day I did see some at the feeder. I wonder if some were the babies?
Love the view from my window. Though I haven’t had any birdies fall into my lap – what kind of bird is it?

I think I have Meadow Larks here… occasionally. 🙂
I think I have an abandoned robin’s nest in my Azalea bush. The robins seem to prefer worms – while they are in the yard, not at the feeder so much.

Isn’t it wonderful when we get to quietly observe such amazing things?!
We get quail and dove in our yard. We have watched them raise their babies and we were even fortunate to get to watch the day a set of quail parents helped their babies to fly up to the top of the wall and then off to the other side! Mama Q sat on the ground and encouraged them to fly up to the top of the wall one by one, and Daddy Q sat on the top of the wall and encouraged them to fly down off the wall. When all of the babies were , Daddy flew down on the ground to join them and Mama flew over the wall to join her family. 🙂
HUGS!!! 🙂

What a lucky bird, to have fallen into your security! The pictures are charming. I guess you knew from the beginning that you were going to have a special relationship. Did the second little one make it?

Yes he did but far more timid than big brother, he strays further afield, where as the first one stays close 🙂
