Encounter in the Natural World

So, I'm sitting on a bench at the Brooklyn Botanical Garden, and suddenly, a baby robin flies over and lands near me. I am startled as the little bird cries out, opens its mouth, keeps it open and appears to be looking in my direction. Well, a few seconds later, mama Robin lands next to baby and she has a worm in her beak. She feeds baby Robin, pauses a bit (I'm thinking to figure out if I'm going to be a problem) and then flies away. So then I'm left with baby Robin. Baby Robin moves closer to me-- bold, brave, fearless and I guess still quite hungry--and I move away. The last thing I want is to get in the way of mama and baby Robin bonding or be perceived as a threat by mama Robin (she may not be visible to my eye but that doesn't mean she's not nearby). After a bit, baby Robin continues his/her journey and I once again take my seat. That was pretty cool and startling to witness up close and personal-- like I was watching something on the Nature channel 😃 And then a butterfly flew right by my face. I'm talking close enough for me to feel like, "Woah!"
