Manuscript describing a young robin who ventured out of the nest. Upon the realization that life was not as easy as his parents made it seem, the bird called out to the parents. The mother responded and attended to his needs but he would not return with her to the nest. The father attempted but gave up. Eventually the bird had to learn for himself because the mother would be occupied with a new brood.
Manuscript in which the author offers her observations on three types of birds she has noticed as winter has arrived, including a woodpecker, bluebird, and geese.
