  16. Gorgeous little critter. She looks lovely to me and will be less tattered in a few weeks.. unlike human moms who stay tattered for about 20 years.. ;)

  27. Sinulla niitä on - Sinitiaisia - kuvattavaksi.
    Hienosti olet onnistunut kuvauksessa...
    Meidän Sinitiaiset ovat joutuneet tänä Keväänä hukkaan. Eivät ole vielä ainakaan tulleet pesäpöntölle.
    On tyydyttävä kuvaamaan Talitiaista ja muita siivekkäitä.

  37. Yep, parenting is a tough job, all right! Potty trained, educated, employed - that's the goal. In bird life it has to be - hatched, fed, flown. :)
