The Baby Bird

Yesterday evening I was weeding one of the flowerbeds - the one with the tall grass, daylilies and menarda plus a few other things. As I was busy pulling weeds and grass I looked up and saw a baby bird sitting on a piece of the grass. It had all it's feathers and the notch on the top of its head was beginning to form. It's feathers were tinged with red - it was a baby red bird! It said, "cheep, cheep" and hopped away to the other side of the bed. I was nearly finished and there weren't many more weeds to clear away so I decided to leave this bed for awhile so the baby bird would be able to get stronger and fly away. A few days I guess - in the meantime, Simon, the cat will not be allowed outside the house.
