You Don’t See Me!

A fledgling robin trying to not be noticed.
They are really good at this.
It about predators and survivability.
If you see a fledgling, don’t notice it.
it’s life may depend on it.
It will make it or not!
No matter what you do!
Long ago I lived in a forest!
I watched my cat catch a bird.
I caught the cat and made him let the bird go.
The bird flew high up in a tree.
I thought it was safe. (and smart!)
I let the cat go and he ran right up the tree
and caught the bird again.
The bird practically jumped into the cats jaws.
It is what it is!
Just leave the wild to the wild!



BTW! This container is where Really Big Hairy Spider lives!
When I came back a few minutes later the fledgling
was gone! Never to be seen again…. ?

The bird does look like he is avoiding you. Maybe it is camera shy. I do like your tale particularly the possible mystery at the end.
