Nature update (13) - 'sorrow' and 'sparrow' rhyme...

[anna_wing]

One half-fledged baby sparrow found dead on the ground, a surprising distance from the nest. Probably it fell or was pushed from the nest during the night, and hopped along until dying of hypothermia. At that size, it's very easy, especially if it was caught in the rain...

Very few of our clutches actually raise more than one to adulthood.

That's sad. :(

I know...

Even though it's a natural part of life, one still feels sad.

[anna_wing]

Yes, indeed.

I realize nature is that way, but ugh. That is sad.

[anna_wing]

Yes. Hopefully its sibling will survive...
