When Tom was feeding Pokey yesterday he found a fledgling on the ground out by the jungle, but when he brought me out to see if there was anything I could do it scurried under the oleander hedge.
Most likely it fell from a nest in the cottonwood, unfortunately WAY too high up for us to do anything about it. 
At least it's reasonably safe in our yard for the time being, although some of the neighborhood cats have been known to visit our yard.

And speaking of small birds - Alex mentioned yesterday that he parks under a tree at his apartment, and just above eye level there's a hummingbird nest.  He's seen Mama (or Papa?) flitting about, but has no idea if there are any eggs/babies in there because he doesn't want to disturb the parents by checking it out.  Here's a clip about a rescued baby hummer.

Getting ready to start my day: bloodwork, some errands, and then Volunteer Luncheon at Park Meadows.
