I was baking some chocolate chip cookies this afternoon (yes...from scratch!) when I looked out on the deck and saw this little lady standing on the edge of the steps. I'm not sure if she wanted food or just needed a break from the (obviously) full nest in the tree near the deck but she stood there for a good five minutes, staring at my back door.
I cut up a few apple slices and grabbed a scoop of sunflower seeds to put out on the railing near the water bowl but I don't know for sure if she made it back to eat any of it. Something tells me I'll see her again tomorrow, though...
