A Crazy Birdy Day...the update.

Well another day full of bird activity in the garden...

This sweet little chap crashed into our window with a thud...

He didn’t seem to hit it very hard and I saw him fly away, but then when I went

out there, there he was sitting on our outdoor settee.

So of course I had to rush into action and save the little bugger...

and  take some photos of him to add to my collection of

ever growing bird rescue pictures.

(please do not take notice of my jewelers hands and dirty fingernails)

This little beauty did not want to leave my hand and just clung

onto to me...I had to practically pull him off of me and

put him in our “safe zone”...high up on one of my husband’s sculptures.

He was in there for awhile...

I thought, oh no, he’s a goner...

but when I went near him, he looked at me and off he went....

and then this happened!!

all in the course of an hour!!!

The brand new baby mockingbird fell outta da nest!

no feathers on his little wings...lookit him!!

 I called Mr. Beatnheart at his shop in LA ....

“come home” I cried!

he said “I can’t...I have too much work”

I said " come home!"

Right now he's on his way...25 miles on the 405 freeway at rush hour...

The parent birds are frantic and chirping and tweetin

away out there...I am watching baby...we will try to put him

back in the nest...but it’s kinda high...

oh dear.

THE UPDATE

MR. B CAME HOME, PULLED OUT THE BIG EXTENSION LADDER,

CLIMBED UP TO THE NEST, CAREFULLY PLACED THE BABY IN

THERE, AND WITHIN A SHORT  TIME THE PARENTS WERE BACK IN

THERE,  FEEDING AND REJOICING...

ALL IS WELL ...

HOPE I CAN GET SOME WORK DONE TODAY...

Public Practice in downtown Los Angeles

I have been selected to particpate in The Music Center Public Practice, as part of the Music Center's Active Arts program.   I will be practicing for two hours at 3pm on Saturday April 13th.  I have not yet received my exact locations.

 I am honored to have been chosen and completely blown away that I was selected out of so many applicants.

  Our city’s downtown area has been revitalized and happening     .. and now, with Metro Rail going to the Westside, even my friends from that area can hop on the train and get to downtown LA with less hassle, no parking fees and see parts of the city on the way that you never get to see from your car on the freeway.  

Here is a link and video to show what to expect...Thank you Music Center and The Active Arts for making another dream of mine come true.
