This weeks Photo Hunt theme is empty. I am up really early as I’m taking part in Shutdown day on Saturday and won’t be on the computer, but I did not want to miss the photo hunt.
Last summer my son found a bird’s nest with a baby bird trapped inside. Some string from the nest had gotten tangled around the bird’s leg. My husband was able to unwrap the string from his leg and free the bird. Here is a photo of the emtpy bird’s nest.
I can’t show you a photo of the nest without showing you our free feathered friend.
I sure hope our neighbor’s cat didn’t get him.
If you liked this post, why not buy me a coffee?

What a sweet story. I was wishing I had an empty birds nest to photograph for today but I had to come up with something else….

Thanks for stopping by!! I am so glad you were able to rescue this poor little bird. Good use of this weeks word!! I thought this was going to be a hard word but I guess not. It is fun seeing what people used this time. Sandy

It’s always such a thrill when a child or teenager rescues a bird. It was nice that you posted the picture of the bird as well. He looks so alert.

It looks like a little mockingbird… poor little thing. I hope he made it as well.

Great shot of the nest and the little birdie. Glad you were able to free the bird.
Thanks for stopping by and happy “shutdown” day. I was going to try but could not bring myself to do it.

That is so neat. I would have never thought of a brids nest. I am not shutting down on sat. we spend most of our time catching up on things we read on line etc over the weekends. (we do take part of the day to play though and do other things) Besides I have to visit all the photo hunt pages *giggle*

I like watching birds, but I would never catch one. Very kind of you to rescue the little birdie.
