Day 205 - a Year by the Sea
July 24, 2007 by OrientSee.
This young robin is on a very bad place, the ground. Instead of flying off when I approached, it scurried off under the brush. It made no attempt to fly. Although there were some other robins around, this one will get no support if a cat attacks. Perhaps it fell out of the nest too soon or it may have some developmental problem but life is remorseless in the marsh. It will probably not survive much longer. There is no room for sentimentality if you live in the wild. Although there is plenty of evidence for species cooperating or at least tolerating each other, cats, rats and coyotes have young to feed as well. Some are simply not going to make it. It’s a hard lesson for humans to live with.
Ciao!
