<DIV><SPAN class=728505700-03062007><FONT face=Arial size=2>I went out a few
minutes ago and found a baby bird hopping around my front yard. It's trying very
hard to flap its wings and get going, but it can only propel itself a few inches
off the ground. My dog didn't seem interested, and I'm keeping my cats indoors
(can't stand the thought), but there are some other cats that come visiting,
plus who knows what other critters. Mama bird is hanging out, wasn't happy that
I was checking out the chick. I'm not bird-smart, but I'm pretty sure that
they're plain old mockingbirds. </FONT></SPAN></DIV>
