fine feathered friends

I looked out my kitchen window yesterday and saw a young robin sitting on the telephone line. The poor guy had me laughing. Apparently, he hasn't figured out the fine art of balancing yet because he was swaying back and forth, trying to maintain his balance. He seemed to be looking around for some help. Finally, he just gave up and flew off.

This morning, two male cardinals greeted me as I walked out the front door...No female in sight. The guys must have been just hanging out...

I've seen some young birds swaying on branches during heavy winds and trying to keep their balance when they land, etc. They have all surpassed the Humpty Dumpty stage, so they can fall--but fly away before hitting the bottom.

It flew away so I knew it was capable; just inexperienced.
