While Big Leonard was here we looked out the door and a little blue bird had fallen out of it's nest either by accident or by an attempt to have it's first maiden voyage. I think he simply plummeted to the ground as he was pretty stunned and there were traces where he'd obviously had the crap knocked out of him...literally as seen in the picture. (Pardon the "crap" word, but it seemed appropriate.) If you look at the picture taken further away the dogs are attentively ready to be released for a nice helpless tasty morsel. The mother and father bird were pretty attentive to the little one as they continued to feed it on the ground and protect it from anything that came close. Now I'm seeing these older blue birds hopping along our back fence and enjoying our backyard bird bath.
