Baby in a tree


Perhaps it is the change in air pressure as a tropical storm approaches, but the critters who live in our neighborhood are busier than usual looking for food and shelter. Yesterday, I was out in the yard because blue jays were making a huge noise. I went out to see if a feral cat was in the yard. Instead, the jays were complaining about a baby. I grabbed my camera and took a couple shots under the attack of hungry mosquitos and using a pretty long lens.
This baby was taking a nap. Don't know where his/her mama was or if there were any brothers or sisters around, but I am keeping the camera handy should I be able to get more pictures without getting too close!
