Walking into Westminster Church on 33rd and Indiana to set up for swing dancing on Monday night, my heart broke for a momma bird. Earlier I was chomping down on my Wendy's fries when I saw this bird swooping low and picking at what looked like a brown fuzzball. Turned out, momma bird was trying to save her fallen nest and her 3 eggs. No egg survived that fall. The two in the nest were cracked. It was so sad to look at.
Seeing that nothing else could be done, I grabbed the nest, tossed the eggs inside it and proceeded to photograph the horror. Momma bird watched me from high in the tree. I can only imagine her pain. Breaks my heart to think of it.
This picture is heartbreaking.
