Grackle update

The baby grackle continues to survive and flies a bit better all the time. She's still hesitant to do more than short flights though and flutters from branch to branch in the tree. But she is growing tail feathers which would help. At least I assume it would help--not being a bird, I don't know.


I hadn't seen her for awhile, but then I saw 'mom' bring her something to eat this morning. Afterward I was able to get a picture of her. If you look in the very center of the picture you can see her little head.


It occurs to me that like the baby grackle we are often hesitant to use our talents and really fly. Like the mother grackle, God keeps encouraging and feeding us until we at last do take off and soar. I think that's something I need to think about in relation to my own work...writing...life...
