Empty Nest

The Chickadees fledged yesterday and now they've gone off to live in the trees! Mark was at his computer and heard a lot of cheeping. He looked out the window and saw the baby birdies taking their first flights. He said they looked like Woodstock from the Peanuts cartoon. They flew in erratic paths, bumbling around, sometimes seeming to be flying upside down. The parents were still caring for them and feeding them worms. Maybe we'll see them around the neighborhood.
