Maria has been waiting patiently with her camera for a Starling mom to bring food to her newborn babies. Yesterday, she scored with this photo. It speaks quite for itself, or old windblown birch, true is still finding a purpose. It’s great to see that in our backyard.

Zip, sensing action, climbed up the tree, but Mom Sterling shushed him away. He got the message. Nature’s shore never shuts down. Photo by Maria. I couldn’t get one. Hers will do fine.
