Love and Duty

A pair of little finches have made a nest in one of our trees. As sweet and adorable as these birds can be, they can also be fearlessly tenacious when it comes to defending their babies. Unfortunately, their nest is fairly close to our driveway so we walk by it on a daily basis. Mom and Dad Finch chirp madly at us and flit about as they try to our divert attention. There's a life lesson in this, but I'm going to just let it go right now and simply delight in the display of love and duty this feathered couple has towards their little family.
