A pair of Thrashers have nested in the top, where a dove usually nests. One fledgling had jumped out of the nest, and I think another was about to make the leap. The parents were giving Izzy hell. I reached in the rose and snatched Izzy off the branch, and put her inside the house. I was looking around, and spotted the fledge trying to look like a pile of leaves. Kathy was washing a window nearby, so she brought the ladder and we put the chick back in the nest. I went to get the camera, AFTER the action was over. I think the fledge I put back was pretty near able to fly; hope so, Isabelle can be very determined Mom and Pop quieted down but they still kept an eye on me. http://www.sonc.com/bird.htm -- Regards, Sonny http://www.sonc.com http://sonc.stumbleupon.com/ Natchitoches, Louisiana (+31.754164,-093.099080) USA
