Heros! For providing for your feathered neighbors and for rescuing that one. It takes so little to be compassionate and to live in concert with Nature. Thank you for your example.
Care! That's what it's about. I enjoyed reading this story and felt the anxiety of the moment when you are desperately looking for a solution to help some fragile creature that's in danger or in pain. The mental image of you with the saw is powerful. You should have posted a picture of the feeder and saw after the rescue ;)
I just read your email this morning, the 14th. Thank you for your patience and compassion. It’s been a tough week with the deaths of people I know and your efforts to save the tiny being lifted my heart. It reminded me that every small gesture by us makes a difference. And it’s my birthday today. So, thank you!
I upgraded to paid and now it’s giving me all kinds of instructions for going into sub stack. All I want to do is support you and get your email in the same way. The other way is beyond me.
Trials and tribulations of feeding the birds...like making a nest in the top of the fan (and then you can't use the fan)...and making a nest in a light then the baby can't fly away...they are so beautiful and interesting to watch...nature is amazing and inspiring!
Lovely story and lovely bird species, with their bright colors and long down-swooping flight patterns. It's the state bird of my home state, Iowa, and for that reason, I suppose, always one of my favorites.
A bird story with a happy ending! But what about that poor, cut in half feeder? Thanks for this one (and all your blog entries) which allows me to feel like I’m close to nature while not actually having to be in nature.

Damn! I should've thought if that!!!

But frankly, your writing already posted a picture of it!

Thank you for your kind words. I'm so pleased mine lifted your heart. Yes, I agree, every small gesture does make a difference!

So true!
What a beautiful story. And perfect for these times we're living in.
Thank you, Katy. Yes, we need all the beauty we can get.

Yes, love that flight! Maybe the only bird I can identify by its flight!
Ha! Same.

Charles, I am glad to provide that service.
Lovely story. I'm glad it had a happy ending.
Observing birds is an endlessly interesting activity. The chance to help one in distress is so rewarding.
That's so true! You feel so good about yourself--and rightly so! Not always the case!
