My baby bird


Well, we knew our bird had babies...I could hear them when it was feeding time and she kicked one of the babies out of the nest. But I haven't ever been able to get a good shot of them....til today, that is. Not only was I photographer today, but I was also a bird rescuer. The baby is trying to stretch his winngs and get strong enough to fly, but he fell out of the tree. Luckily Brianna was playing outside and she saw the baby, picked it up and brought him to me. Scott came home a short time later and we ended up pulling the truck under the tree and putting the ladder in the bed of the truck to get him back into the nest. The first try was no good...the parents were both freaking out and took a swoop at us, and with all that happening, the baby jumped back outta the nest. I was able to calm him down again, and then it was easier to get him to stay in the nest. While I had the truck there, I thought I'd take advantage of the awesome angle I was at and got a couple of great shots of the baby, so here he is! :) Hopefully the parents don't abandon him after all that effort we put into saving him!!
