You know you’re a mom (even a bird mom) when you take care of the neighbor’s kids too!

The most amazing thing has happened! A mom and dad chipping sparrow have for some reason taken another bird under their wing. We watch them daily as the big baby (as we’ve named Baby Huey Bird) chirps and chirps for food and waits til the surrogate parents fly over to feed him. It’s really the sweetest thing! I don’t know if somehow this Baby Huey egg was hatched in the wrong nest or what the circumstance is that these *way* smaller bird parents came to raise this larger baby. We’ve been watching for about 2 weeks and it’s no less amazing day after day.

These are the best pics I’ve been able to get out of the 500 or so that I’ve tried to get. *ughhhh* I feel for those National Geographic photogs that spend years trying to get one good shot. Plus the fact that my neighbors think I’m insane hiding in bushes with my camera.
*this post sorta ties in with my post on Compassion on my Wellness blog.

i think they are pretty good shots considering you aren’t a national geographics photographer.

That’s so cute! It’s amazing that you’re able to witness that. Cool pics, too. : )
That is so amazing. I can’t believe that. We have a nest on our back patio rafters that houses baby birds every spring. Last year, there were three different hatchlings there at different times. Crazy.
