I'm telling you, Holly, they know where the food is! You and Ric are probably being watched by hopeful eyes every time you come outside; they know how those feeders get filled : - )

I saw this seemingly headless fledgling sitting on my bird bath today. It took quite a long time before it finally came out of "hiding". I guess it thought that if it didn't see me; I couldn't see it !!
It stayed in that spot for almost an hour. I was worried about it and was about to take a video to send to the bird rehab people when I heard the reassuring "chickadee-dee-dee" of nearby parents and looked up to see them in the Japanese Maple up above. It was about time that those slacker parents came to retrieve their quivering baby LOL.
