Little Mama

This little Mama raised her young ones after their nest was relocated in the fork of a tree. It took her several hours to approach the rescued nest. The nest had been torn from the same tree by a passing cat and was found on the ground .... the little ones scattered among the ruins.

After the little ones were placed in the relocated nest and the mother's approval was earned, she fed them and kept them safe in the nest until they could take wing.
