Bye, Bye Birdie!

We found yet another baby bird in the back yard the other night. Mama bird was hovering around and keeping baby in close view, but we were still able to get close enough to snap a few photos. Poor baby bird! We think he'd 'flown the coop' so to speak, but was still having great difficulty trying to fly. He couldn't possibly make it back in to the nest - it was much too high up for him to reach. We're not exactly sure where the baby ended up - we kept tabs on him for a good portion of the evening, but by morning, he was nowhere in sight. But I'm sure his mama wouldn't let anything happen to him.
