Thank you Martin. We are lucky our property consists of and is surrounded by woods, which is home to diverse wildlife, especially birds. We enjoy their company, calls, and songs.

Nice poem, Fred. It's great to be in contact with nature and the birds that visit us sometimes - injured or not. They tend to remind us of the wonders of nature that we can so easily forget when we get caught up in our busy daily lives.

Fred, beautiful little story. And very lucky bird to have landed in your yard. The Hawks can be a problem here also.

I think so. There were no predators about either in sight on the ground or overhead. Also, thank you for the restack.
