Mom and Pop

I was sitting outside bird-sitting when Serena came over to visit. She played around for a bit then wanted to cuddle up on my lap cuz that north wind was really cold. We warmed each other up.

In the meantime the resident pair of doves, who never come close to me, were inching closer and lo and behold came to the feeding area. The doves must have thought it was safe to approach if I was distracted. Serena was wiggling on my lap while I was trying to steady a shot, but I got a few. I whispered "sshhh....look" to Serena, so she watched and held still as quiet as a mouse. How could any human being not be fascinated by birds. They're beautiful, colorful, funny, interesting.....and they can flyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy................

Has anyone ever had a flying dream? I did once, years ago, and I have never forgotten that feeling of sheer ecstasy.

 

Future Birder of America.

That is my mission........turning Serena into a rabid nature nut and birder.
