Pulling up the driveway this afternoon, the girls and I noticed a large group of blackbirds circling around a clump in the grass...as if they were having a party. My curious Kinsey sprinted from the car to the grassy clump and discovered a very young baby bird. The poor little guy must have fallen from his nest in the palm tree in our front yard. Clearly, he's a fighter...the tree is easily over twenty feet tall!
Following the advice of the staff from the Nature Conservancy we constructed a nest from a plastic bowl and a soft rag...which we hung from a nearby tree. Believe it or not, momma blackbird has already returned to feed her dear little Joe! Obviously, he's destined for bird greatness!
