A Bird in the Hand (by Kat)

The chicks are growing!
They spend the days outside in their pen,
and are sure tuckered out every evening when we bring them in.
They're so easy to handle, falling asleep in our hands.

Nashville Warblers (by Kat)

These cool little birds began visiting our yard earlier this month. I finally took a photo last weekend and posted it to our local Audubon group. Of course, my ID was wrong, but I was quickly corrected and people were excited. Now, while I'm sick in my house, Audubon-ers are hanging out on the sidewalk, ooh-ing and aah-ing while gazing toward my house.


The best part?
(NOT!)
One of our cats brought one into the house this morning.
Can you spot the interloper below?


I didn't see any Audubon witnesses out there as I finally released him back into the wild...but some of those folks have mighty strong binoculars. I'm just waiting for the phone-call!

Hack, cough, hack, hack,
Here's a photo of our cherry tree from this weekend.
Hack, hack, cough.
Back to bed.
