I'll Huff & I'll Puff & I'll.....

The wind picked up yesterday afternoon and blew harder than Uncle Elmer after eat'n beans and cornbread. That's what it does around Red Tail Ridge this time of year... or is it this century since it blows so often... Anyway you look at it the wind does tend to get a bit obnoxious just like ("Here, pull my finger") Uncle Elmer.

I watched Mrs. Finch a number of times during these wind gusts and was proud of the little lady as she stayed rooted to the nest. I believe that under her calm demeanor there was a little bird with her toes locked around something solid at the bottom of the nest, hang'n on for dear life.  I found myself leaning into the wind for her... of course I was inside watching her on my monitor. HA!  This isn't the worst she had to endure but it's the best I was able to capture on my webcam.

Just when it's almost over she does an egg count to make sure no one was blown from the nest. I can just hear her... "Hey, all y'all OK in there? Hang on, I gotcha."

I tried to spice this up a little with editing... hope you like it.
