Baby Catbird in the Bush

“Turn your obstacles into opportunities and your problems into possibilities.” 

 ― Roy T. Bennett

At the beginning of June we had some baby catbirds living in the Rhododendron bush in our front yard. They would sit on our porch railing as the Mom/Dad would come and feed them. I tried and tried to get a good shot of them through the window, but every time I tried to raise the screen, they would dive into the bush and hide. So I decided I would shoot through the screen. I was able to catch this little one through the screened window. Not a great shot but a record of the "babies in the bush".

A Young Mockingbird

“may my heart always be open to little

birds who are the secrets of living

whatever they sing is better than to know

and if men should not hear them men are old

may my mind stroll about hungry

and fearless and thirsty and supple

and even if it's sunday may i be wrong

for whenever men are right they are not young

and may myself do nothing usefully

and love yourself so more than truly

there's never been quite such a fool who could fail

pulling all the sky over him with one smile”

There are really places in your heart that you don't know exist until you love a child.

I love capturing bird behavior and was thrilled to get this little one begging mom/dad for some food.

Daddy Goldfinch feeding baby.  How wonderful it was to experience this sight first hand.  Observing nature is one of the greatest treasures found on this amazing planet.
