Acrylic on Board 5 x 7
This little fellow landed on my porch railing and cried for his mom for over two hours. I was afraid he was in need of rescue, but I also knew that a feathered fledgling is closely watched and not abandoned. Eventually he got up the nerve to fly to a near by shrub for safety. I hoped mom just lost track of time chatting with the other robins in the neighborhood, and would return soon. A few days later I saw him and his sibling and best of all there was errant mom helping them in their search for worms.
