The birds! How they mock him. Suffering from ennui with a side of malaise, all the young Master can do is wish for sunnier days and better circumstances as he pines away indoors.

Perhaps you can find a good use for this vintage Victorian engraving, a Gothic bit of clip art as ever there was.

Trio of Baby Robins

Trio of Baby Robins

Had to use the zoom, hence the rather crappy picture, but there you have them. Three baby robins, American Robins to be exact. They are a delight, both ma and pa taking an active role in feeding the hungry little critters. They make me nervous in that I worry about them. Will all three survive? What about that feral cat that has claimed more than one bird from the feeder area? I’ve read that squirrels prey on young Robbins (as they have my insulation). Are they hiding, spying, waiting to kidnap them? I’ve seen what squirrels can do to a feeder when they are hungry, perhaps they are satisfied with seeds for the moment.

Ah, nature!
