Learning to Fly

I watched a bird flutter around the yard. You know how Snoopy's friend Woodstock flies in loop-de-loops? Well, that is what this crazy bird was doing. It just couldn't seem to figure out how to fly upwards onto the bird feeder. After watching it for about 10 minutes I finally realized it was just a baby cardinal. It had weird red feathers poking out of the top of its head. So comical I started laughing.  I thought about putting some birdseed down for it but then I would have taken away her chance to be proud of herself. I think she learned because a few days later I think I saw her on the bird feeder with the other birds. Sometimes you just have to sit back and let the youngsters figure things out... and laugh as they laugh at us oldsters.
