Yum Yum

The first thing I noticed about this tree was that it was singing. Unlike many of the other trees I walked passed today this one had no leaves. Nothing to conceal the little birds that I could hear chp-ing and twt-ing like mad. But there were no birds in sight. Which, of course, is when I figured out that the birds were inside the tree!


I took a few steps back and waited. Sure enough all of those babies were screaming for mama who came hopping along with a little something for her nestlings.


Did I say little? This bug is almost as big as this bird. I have no idea how the babies were going to eat it.


But in she went and things quieted down considerably.
