I saved a baby robin today. I think it got mauled by a cat, its wing was bent and it was too small to fly properly anyway. I thought it had had its tailfeathers chewed off too, which would have been too bad, but they just hadn't grown in yet, so that's good. I took him to a wildlife rescue place in Truro on my way home today. Truro wasn't exactly on my way home, but that's ok. It's a pretty drive from Tatamagouche. He chirped the whole way, it was a good time. He'll be nursed back to health and then released there, where there are lots of other robins, as there are everywhere. Apparently only 1-2 of the 5-6 hatchlings actually make it past fledgeling age. They actually have a new place set up that's for songbirds who are injured beyond repair but can still live normally in captivity, as a reminder that people should keep their cats inside. Interesting, no?

Is karma only a boomerang if you're a jerk, or does it work if you're a good person too? I'm sort of still waiting. I won $2 on Super 7 the other night, but I don't think that counts. Especially since the ticket was $5.
