Fledgling



See him there on the limb
Not yet ready to take wing
Little fledgling, speckled, scared
A frightening world awaits

Poor little robin
If he goes he'll have to walk
His wings are stubby
His belly's tubby

But his beak is long
Ma!  Help!

Vee, yes, it it is survivable.

Chuck, that is a fact. Not long after espying this little feller, I found one that didn't make it.

Those little guys, fresh out of the nest, sure do a LOT of yelling for their mothers!

He is a beauty. I wish him safe travels and a happy new life!

Sharkey, it is hard not to like a little bird.
