Baby bird
while walking across the way to one of the cabins I found a little bird that may or may not have been a finch just sitting there. It was odd because 1. he didn't move when I approached and 2. there were no structures above he could have come from except the roof of the cabin, which doesn't seem to have any good birds nest spots. He wasn't a tiny baby, but I could tell he was young, probably didn't do so well the first time out of the nest. I picked him up and put him up on the steps hoping that would give him enough height to fly, but it didn't work, he did more of a tumblefly down the steps. Poor little guy. Kevin (I know I keep mentioning him, I'll talk more about him next post. He's one of the guys that's building the new cabin) said I should just get a cage and raise him. I walked around with him for a bit half trying to find a good place to put him and half deciding if I wanted to try to keep him. I'm ill equipped to nurture anything so I ended up finding a nice branch for him that seemed high enough that he might attempt to fly and possibly succeed this time. Hopefully. I feel a little sad about it, but I'm trying not to worry. Mother Nature.
