 Baby Birds

If you fed them, you wouldn't be attacked by the mommy bird :) Great image, Steven! Love the angle and the composition. Quite unique. Daring shot!

Gosh, this is nice. I find myself wondering where you found the stepladder. I'll always remember the blue jay mom that darned near killed herself diving at my cat in the window, thinking she was somehow a threat, way there inside the house. So I understand about retreating from mom birds.

This is such a great shot, Steven. It looks like those little birds thought you were their mommy and opened wide for their lunch.:) Awesome. I really like your gallery -- all the color and the eclectic feel to it. Thanks for your kind comment on my In Memory pic. Deb. Oh, and I've been chased by mommy birds before -- not pleasant. :)

Had a nice neighbor lady over last night and she and I were looking through galleries of my new BP friends. She especially liked this one. It really is a rare opportunity to climb a ladder and get a shot like this. You hit it at just the right moment. Are you still in band aides?-Laura Swan
