Pure Sadness


This morning there was no happy chatter. In fact, if I recall correctly, I believe I didn't see a single bird this morning. You see, last evening we discovered one of the babies lying lifeless on the patio below the bird's nest. I guess the price of independence is high. And we all know Nature can be harsh, too harsh, sometimes. My heart is very heavy and I can't help but wonder how Moma bird is fairing. . .

Oh Kirstie, I'm so sorry about the baby. That happened at our house once. Isn't it interesting that the birds are mourning though?

That is just too sad. I was just telling my mother-in-law that all the birds are in your backyard. You're going to miss their music.
