Technical Difficulties

My old laptop has died. I'm trying to decide whether to fix it or get a new one. In the meantime, I have computer access, but most of the stuff I keep for the blog is on the laptop. Posting will be more erratic than usual, but I will continue to check out the blogs I follow.

A Bird in the Hand

I found this little Pine Warbler at the end of my driveway the other day. He was lying face down with wings spread, dazed. He didn't appear to have been mauled by the cats. It is possible that he had flown into something. I'm not sure what happened to him, but I picked him up to keep the cats from getting to him. After a brief rest and encouragement from his friends, he was able to fly away.




Here he is resting in a dishpan. The entire time he was disabled, his buddies were chirping and calling to him. The noise they were making was what caused me to walk to the end of the driveway to see what was going on in the first place. There are plenty of Pine Warblers in the neighborhood and they are often in our backyard, flitting, chirping, and fussing about in the trees.




I had to take one more photo of this adorable face before letting him go. Click for a closer look.
