Our little red headed step young-un!

Our little red headed step young-un!

Seeing our little red headed step young-un alight
on a tree where the bird feeder hung, I watched it
perch there for a few moments and then hop onto
the bird feeder, chasing away the migrants feeding there.
After filling it's beak, it hopped back onto the tree and
then proceeded up the tree to where it had previously pecked
a hole for the tree sap. It loaded the hole with bird seed
and returned to the feeder several times before it flew away.
Our little red headed step young-un had learned a valuable
lesson in life, to always save for a rainy day! Unfortunately,
a government of squirrels descended and wiped out our
little red headed step young-un's savings account! That
was a valued life lesson also! Of course, there are those
who will say that's what he deserves for not allowing the
transits (migrating birds) to share in what he had claimed
as his! The problem was, that the government of squirrels
ate most of the contents of the bird feeder and kept our
little red headed step young-uns stash for themselves
and never returned it to the bird feeder!
