The Final Goodbye

This little bird finally flew away this afternoon. Originally there were two babies in the nest and the first one flew this past Sunday. The second one just stayed and stayed. he (she) would get out of the nest to fly a few feet, but then would head back to the nest.

Well, this afternoon he finally flew. So early this evening I was outside sitting in a patio chair and I could hear a bird in the nearby tree that sounded just like the baby hummingbird. Then the baby bird flew out of the tree and over to the hanging bells and landed. I spoke to him, took his photo, and then he was gone.

I just felt like it was the final goodbye.
