Mama Bird was especially fiesty the other day. I couldn't quite figure out why.
Daddy Bird was freaking out, too. They kept buzzing past me and hovering around, shrieking and chirping. Something was definitely up.
Viola! Their baby was trapped inside my vegetable garden. It was too weak to fly over the fence, and too stupid to climb out. The parents were clearly worried and didn't want anything near it. I didn't see how he did it, but the little one must have finally made it out.Speaking of baby birds, I have news about one of the robin chicks. I discovered its corpse just instants before I ran it over with the lawn mower. Ah, the circle of life...
