Napping in Strange Places

You never know what you are going to find where and how.

I stumbled across this little bird outside the door of Target.

It just sat there. I started to pet it and my two children.

It is beautiful. I literally would have stepped on it if I was not looking.

I picked it up and moved it onto a short wall behind a trash can.

It had been sleeping while sitting in the original

pathway really close to the road.

When I picked it up it started to flutter a little.

But it just hopped across the wall like it didn't know how to fly.

finally, it lifted up and did a wide, but not too skillful circle, out to the parking lot and then over the roof of the store.

At least I know it can fly.

This is a young Kentucky Warbler.

I had my sister do the homework for me.

(not too great of quality pictures with my cell phone.

I did not have my camera with me)

These next two are not my pictures... I found them online to show a good

shot of Kentucky warblers.

This has to be one of the prettiest birds I have found yet.

And the best part is I got to be so close and hold it.

This is pretty much what it would have looked like in my hand.

Although mine had it's wings a little spread open.
