Petting Zoo...

Alex helping to carry gravel up from the riverbed for a project around
the mission here. He loves to help out when people are working
wherever he can... (shhh- don't tell him it's work and you're
not supposed to like it; where ignorance is bliss...)

One of the little neighbor boys knocked this poor
birdy out of a tree with a rock. ?! . Yeah- they're
that good at throwing down here, they
have lots of time to practice- on each other
occasionally... :(

After reprimanding the scoundrels who perpetrated
this act of malice, my wife took a few pics with the
little blondy, who was quite pleased with the catch
and (I think) can hardly wait to grow up so he can
knock a bird out of a tree... :) Actually he felt sorry
for the little critter, it was still alive... The nationals
said it's some kind of hummingbird... Maybe one
of you knows what it is...? Drop us a comment...
