Yes. Another bird picture.



I know. I KNOW. But, I couldn't help myself. 

I mean, look at the little guy.

During a recent trip to Springfield, Illinois, I discovered this sweet baby complaining from his perch on a fence rail. 

While momma bird swooped and chirped, this toddler let the humans gathering around him know how unhappy he was.

Lucky for this little bird, his home was in a tree near Abraham Lincoln's historic Springfield house, where park rangers were in charge of his destiny.

Within minutes, through careful manipulation with a tree branch (no human touch), he was lifted back to the tree from where he fell. 

Momma bird greeted him with a firm lecture.
