One of Mother Natures little Pleasures

Here at Grundy, sometimes Mother Nature gives you something special to see that you haven't seen before. Yes, there are the baby swans and baby loons, and little ducklings, but yesterday I got to see a baby red-eyed vireo, a first for me. It had either fallen out of the nest or was just learning to fly, but it picked a spot almost on top of the fire pit, in one of our friends cedar trees, where it perched all day long. It seemed rooted to the spot, and every now and then it would commence to chirp over and over again until from out of the blue, the mama bird would come and feed it, then fly away again to God knows where. It was a heartwarming scene, however since campfire was supposed to be there that night, we ended up having change locales to have the fire elsewhere, in order not to have cooked vireo.
