Back for a day from our flying time, on the way home from Europe, we spotted this young bird on our Brooklyn stoop, preparing to become a frequent flier.
While the mother perched above, the baby showed all the trepidation and ungainliness humans sometimes feel when faced with the prospect of flying for the first time. As you can see in the last frame, the baby eventually made it off the ground…but only a couple of feet up the wall. We couldn’t stay any longer, and just assume that eventually the flight was cleared for take-off.
What a delightful narrative and photos; a great way to start my day — positive and uplifting!!
