Detachment, anxiety and the end of limbo 2

[Phoebe]

So I was outside and heard the same baby bird sound again. On the ground. Again. These babies just want to die!!? I have 4 outdoor-only farm cats.

So now I have removed art three babies from the mite-infested nest, treated them with fipronil, and installed them into a clean surrogate nest (made from my egg basket lined with straw and shavings and dry grass) about 18 inches away from the original nest. AND I fed all three babies dinner while standing on the ladder.

A friend of mine says that I find more drama in nature than anyone he knows. This year I agree with his assessment. This is the second nest I've restocked, and I've moved multiple fledglings out of harm's way already.

Just about to go biking and just waiting for my biking friend to arrive.
