I'm off camping, so I posted this before I left. I'll be back on Sunday. I also posted a tricolored heron shot early, since I won't be able to post for a couple of days. I'm hoping some of you get to see them.
SmugMug > keywords > purple martin > Who would ever guess a little bird could be such a spiritual experience. I found this bird covered in mites and close to death. I began to feed this little fellow meal worms and used an eye dropper to give him water. I bought mite shampoo and rid him of the bugs. Slowly after a few days the little guy started coming around. I put him in a cat carrier and brought him with me where ever (he even attended a funeral) I brought him so he could be fed every couple of hours. After two weeks he became strong. I let him out of his cage so he could leave as soon as he had strength because I knew the martins were leaving Florida soon on migration. Eventually he started hopping on my shoulder and flying to the ground. All of a sudden up he went flying in the sky. He circled the house and my heart dropped....I didn't say good-bye. He flew around the house and flew right back to my shoulder. What a relief. I thought well maybe he is not ready. The next morning he hopped on my shoulder....looked me right in the eyes as if to say Thank you and off he flew.
