Freeloader...

have ya'll ever bought worms? not for fishing and not to help turn garbage into compost, but to feed Mama Birds and their babies...well, actually just to help Mama feed those bottomless pits called baby birds...

Wild Birds Unlimited sells mealy worms...for $16...for a pretty dinky-sized bag...okay, full disclosure*...the bag is dinky, but there are lots of those nasty little worms in that dinky bag...

But apparently, our mealy worms don't cut it with Mama Cardinal...however, somebody else has discovered the gravy trainI didn't have the heart to be angry with him...

*******************************************************************
*complete complete disclosure...mealy worms need to be kept in the fridge...

Oh, he is beautiful! I bet he shows up again, looking for more free handouts.
We had baby birds flying the nest this weekend. They were all in the yard and in the lower trees. And, goodness at the chirping going on. It was fun to watch. I snapped a few pics of a cute baby on a low limb. I"ll try to post a picture if I can ever get my unorganized butt in gear.
Glad to see you blogging again. Your blog is one of my favs!

it's all about the journey...
