Out of the safe nest
Learning to fly, fledgling sits
Find food stay alive

Tiny baby bird resting on the bannister in the warmth of the morning sun
Tiny baby bird resting on my banister in the warmth of the morning sun.  Found the bird feeder!

I know, I know…I’m a golden retriever and I’m suppose to love the water…swimming, etc. But, I don’t…it’s true and I have come to think it’s OK…I’m a landlubber. But, if I did swim… I’d sure enjoy being with the sea otters.
You otter watch these adorable creatures and the good they give us. Golden Paws Up!
