A sudden gust of wind forced one of the warblers to make an emergency landing on the fence this morning. He stayed there a while, fluffing his feathers and preening. His behavior reminded me of our cats, who cover any awkward step or fall with a bout of elaborate grooming, as if to say, “I meant to do that. Now, a little privacy? As you can see, I’m bathing…”
That is the cutest picture of the little bird. I want to hug him. Kitty looks pretty content!
I wanted to hug him, too! He was absolutely adorable, all fluffed out and embarrassed…
Perfect description of this little fellow, Rae! As always, love your observations in words and pictures.
