Favorite things: Baby birds!

May 28, 2016 by Beth Shepherd

Baby birds! What’s not to like? Fuzzy, geeky, peepy balls of cuteness. I love this time of year, when everywhere you look there are feathered babies leaving their nests, trying out their new wings, walking in the awkward way baby birds do, swimming on top of the water with little spurts of speed, exploring the new world around them. Here are a few pictures I’ve taken of baby birds, mostly for my 366 Project. Baby goslings down at the edge of Lake Washington, a baby robin sitting on a wood chair in our yard, a baby finch being fed seed from his papa or mama, two baby Anna’s hummingbirds resting on our neighbor’s clothesline, and one Bushtit sitting on an obelisk in our garden. And for extra credit, see if you can find all four members of the finch family in the last photo!

Some might fend off a mid-life crisis by leaving the comforts of their corporate salary to jet off to a deserted island. Others might buy a Jaguar. I’ve chosen to dive head-long into my 50s and beyond by becoming a first-time parent. At any given moment you might find me holding a camera, a spade, a spatula or a suitcase. Or my little girl's hand. Adopted from Armenia, she puts the Pampers and Paklava into my life.
