the Saga of the Bird... Thanks to all who helped (dial-up warning)

[handmade34]

Martha patiently waiting for me to take the picture and then leave;



within one minute a male golden crowned kinglet arrives


and another out of curiousity


Knowing that Martha will be ok, I leave to explore the park


...and find stairways




and an open door welcoming me in??


I look to the other side of the Hudson River


...only to find more stairways


((thanks to Lenoir Nature Preserve and its caretakers))

1. So glad you shared this experience with us. Glad it had a happy ending

[Celebration]

2. Oh, awesome

Bird release, Bird pictures, and staircases, all in one day. Can't be beat!

I love outdoor staircases the best. :)

3. Good news. I just got caught up on the backstory.

Have to say that doorway is a mesmerizing photo.
