Taken Wing
They're gone.
The birds outside our window have disappeared. Mother Dove had just hatched her babies, too. At least the other day I saw a little fuzzy brownish-gray head peeking out from under her wing. But when I went to check on them the next day, they were gone.
I looked around the ground under the A/C unit, thinking that maybe the babies had fallen out of the nest and Mom had simply left, knowing she couldn't help, but I saw no little bodies in the grass. I guess a hawk might have gotten the lot of them; we have several red-tailed hawks around here*.
Too bad; watching the babies grow up would have been an interesting science project for the kids.
---------------------
*There was one near our old place I used to call "Shayera" (you comics fans will catch the reference). Anyway, I saw a flock of ravens divebombing her one day while she was out for a fly, minding her own business. I didn't think ravens had those sort of cojones.

Hi Michael,
I've been thinking about your blog here and there and today it occurred to me let you know about a free internet based course that could just tip the scales in your favor. It's turned things around for a lot of people. It only takes a few minutes a day.
Go to http://imaginate.simpleology.com. There will be a very compelling sales letter making you want to buy the second course (which I did also take myself) but the first free course alone is very powerful. It's made a big difference for me. I'm an illustrator (www.moon-man.com) so I know how tough it can be to make a living as a creative type.
Hope this helps.
Scott
