orphan of the storm

While gardening today at J&L’s I discovered a nest that had fallen from a tall tree last night. Nearby there was a dead baby bird. I pointed it out to J. and we both sighed sad sighs for the little one who didn’t make it. One more eyeball scan across the grass and I spotted another nestmate – still alive but injured and not looking so great. No parents in sight anywhere and feeling some urgency about getting care for this one, I scooped it up and we created a little homemade nest out of paper towels and a tiny wicker basket. I picked up a small canister of baby bird food (a formula mix similar in consistency to human infants’ mix-with-water stuff) and hand-fed it every half hour or so until I could locate a wildlife center who would know far better than I how to best care for the orphan.
I’m starting to see this mourning dove/bird pattern emerging in my daily life. I wonder what that’s about.

Let’s try an experiment. Tonight (Thursday, 11/30/06) at 10pm EST, we will have a live chat with Laura Ohara, our nurse practioner, at gabbly.com/interplast.blogs.com.
Laura, a mother herself, spends a lot of time with the mothers of the Interplast patients, some of whom are as young as 14. Part of her job is to teach the local nurses how best to explain complicated instructions to the mothers in the recovery room. She has noticed that most do not breastfeed, causing them to spend inexpendable income on costly baby formula. Laura is really sweet and has a lot to say, but rather than taping interviews with her about the stuff that I think is interesting, why don’t you come on by and ask her yourself. If there is interest and not many people show up, we might move the conversation to Skype.
So anyone who wants to chat with her live from Ecuador about Interplast, motherhood, breastfeeding, or anything else quasi-related, please go to gabbly.com/interplast.blogs.com at 10pm EST. There is no registration of fee for either you or us. Feel free to spread the word to anyone who may be interested.

Little bird is there now, as is the baby bird food which they can use to feed it and others; no doubt they’ll be far neater with the hand-feeding than was I.
