The New Life of Spring

While I'm usually focused on the emerging flora of spring,

I occasionally get a chance to see baby birds, goslings,

and one spring, baby foxes and possums.

But it occurs to me, I've never seen baby squirrels,

which this website: All about Squirrels,

says are called kittens.

Regardless, there is something magical about the new life of spring,

so here are some of my favorites:

Here's a fledgling blue jay

"Conscious Gardener" of Austin, Texas

was lucky enough to have four of these baby blue jays:

This one is a little older. It still has that gawky look.

I saw a gaggle of geese this weekend. 

Lots of little yellow fuzzy goslings like these:

And so it goes ...
