my oldest rescued...

... a red-winged black bird tangled up in string this morning. 

I'm amazed how quickly he got the bird to calm down so he could it free. 



first flight

chicks

Our friends got some little chicks the other day and invited us over to meet them. They are about 4 days old and so cute! I couldn't tell you what the breeds of the chicks are; though our friends did tell us. We will have to learn them because my littles want to visit them often.

Dear Birdgirl,

While writing in my journal this morning a bird flew at the window by my table.  It fell to the ground; laying there with its wings spread and not moving.  I was worried it was hurt.  No sooner then I gasped a hero was there to lift the little bird up.  He told me it was blinking so I grabbed my camera and joined them outside.

The little chickadee is doing well.  After being held for a few minutes he began to hop around on his hero's arm to shoulder to hat.  Then he jumped to the railing of the deck then back to the hero's shoulder before flying to the feeder to eat.  We watched him until he was finished eating and flew away.

I thought of you while watching the little chickadee today.  It reminded me of experiences you have mentioned with little wild birds and I wanted to tell you of ours.

xoxoxo,
