Bye Bye Birdie

Bear with me - or wait until next week when we do the flowers for a wedding - check back then.
Meantime, for all you bird watchers - today the biggest baddest baby flew the nest! It wriggled out of the birdhouse and hopped down to the porch. He seemed a little disoriented for a few minutes. The mom appeared and was pretty surprised I think even though he had spent the morning pushing himself further and further out of the birdhouse. After a few minutes he flew away with mom in pursuit - it was a pretty tentative flight headed toward the neighbors yard. Here is a photo of him on the porch. Now I think there may be two babies left - we will see who leaves next....
