It's tough to be on your own

Orphaned catbird Despite the continuing heat, humidity, and, according to the Weather Channel, end of the world thunderstorms, I went out for a bike ride. Scaling a hill not far from my house, I spotted a young catbird in the road. It looked stunned and confused, but it could fly a bit and had, I'm guessing, just left its nest. I picked it up, and though it protested mightily, I carried it to safety well off the street. I hope its folks were in the vicinity and kept it safe. It's a hard enough natural world out there as it is; no use making it worse by landing in the wrong place.
