One of the downsides of summer is getting 12 months of grass growth in 3 months. I was clearing the kids stuff off the lawn before mowing and found this guy in the tall grass. Not sure what he was suffering from, but he looked pretty pretty weak and his feathers were wet and matted down. So I picked him up, he hopped onto my arm and then my shoulder. Then after he got a bit stronger he flew to the bottom of a spruce tree. I got some bird seed for him and picked him up to try and get him to eat some, but he didn't seem too intersted. He did seem perk up though. ![[Linked Image]](http://forums.accuratereloading.com/groupee_files/photo_albums/4/8/1/481101382/165100986_82818DC28DF4C3CF9526823F3606CD96.JPG)

Cool! PS. Trim your nose hairs or make the pic smaller.

That was my wife's concern, but my son said not to worry as black capped chickadees aren't migratory birds. Then again, I guess the local birds can get sick from the DSMF'ers  They "upgraded" my work puter again, so I haven't had a chance to figure out how to size pics with the new viewer.

I don't think one would likely get much of anything from a fledgling. You probably rescued one who was looking for the door labeled "natural selection, a.k.a life-in-the-wild-can-suck; then you die."
Sometimes, the air you 'let in'matters less than the air you 'let out'.

Maybe, but natural selection eliminates the unlucky as well as the unfit.

Paul,
If you are running Windows, plain old MS Paint can resize pictures. It's in the Image menu - Stretch/Skew. Just pick a stretch percentage less than 100%.

You can't edit after 24 hours have past. Too bad, cuz that pic is HUUUGE 
Do it today. Tomorrow there may be a law against it.
