Saturday's Sentiments

Many thanks to everyone who weighed in on my tale (yesterday's Blogger post) of an injured pigeon that I hopefully rescued in my rooftop garden.

I walked up to The Wild Bird Fund (WBF) today in hopes of visiting the creature, but I couldn't even get an update on "my" pigeon's status.

I have now e-mailed The WBF with my request to learn of the bird's prognosis; and have offered my garden as a place to release him/her.

Meanwhile, I was sorting through a box of papers and came across this photograph of one of my ancestors from my father's side of the family.

Unfortunately, anyone who could offer me specifics has passed away, but the photograph confirms that my love of birds (and my empathy for pigeons) must be in my genes.
