Fledged

Sometime late this afternoon, the baby cardinals fledged. It's stupid, but I'm so sad about it. I can't believe they grew up and left so quickly. I got some footage of them earlier today; this is the best video, though it's not all that great:

I wish I could just see them flying around so I'd know they're okay. [Edited to add: or hopping around, as I've now read they apparently do "to gain strength and coordination."]

Goodbye Winston

We had a nest of birds cure in a potted plant on our porch when I lived in Florida. Within a day all but one of the little birds left, but the last one hung out for another week. We named him Winston and I was proud to see him leave.

Oh, and,
