Hi Joyce,
Watching birds from a distance is ok too! Sometimes I see them in my back yard and I too just stop and watch them for a few minutes. The other day....I had gone on a errand and had let my mini-poodles ride in the car with me, as I was only going to be gone a few minutes. When I let them out of my car they ran through the garage into the back yard & I saw them streaking across the yard toward a little fledgling that had fallen out of the nest or maybe it had crash landed as it was trying to learn to fly. I don't know exactly how it was on the ground in the middle of my yard...but I ran over to where the little thing was flapping it's wings and I had to reach down and pick it up before the dogs tried to grab it. I was in a dilemma as to what I should do...but I decided to put it on the other side of the fence and see if it's mama bird would come looking for it. Well, it flew out of my hand and landed on the ground out of the reach of the dogs. It was a blue jay & I was surprised I wasn't getting dived at by the mama jay. I don't know if it's mama bird found it...but I sure hope so.
 Oh Cheryl you are a Saint! Thank you so much for helping little baby blue jay! Momma was probably nearby. I must show you a video about Christopher Birdman Driggins. Besides his parrot rescue, he also rescues wild birds! Here is his facebook page http://www.facebook.com/#!/NWBirdrescueLove and big hugs. Barb :)
