This past weekend I was brushing my teeth, when I was startled by a bird in our bathroom.  I think the cat caught it, took it in the house, and then the little warbler flew in the bathroom.  It couldn't fly very well at first, but after holding it for about 30 minutes, it was ready to fly away.  I think it was a female Wilson's warber.  Of course the boys wanted to put it in a cage, but since it eats insects only, I didn't think that would be very wise, and wild birds should be able to fly free.

Then Tristan found a little dragon fly that was happy to sit on his hand for a while:

We also have a new creature in the boy's room.  Tristan wanted a guinea pig, so we gave him Maple for his 9th birthday present. I'll photograph little Maple later.
