Discoveries Are Always Serendipity
Author: siggyThe best discoveries are always when you least expect them. Today I was walking my dog and I picked something off the middle of the road. It was a two inch diameter bird nest. It had to have been built by a ruby-throat hummingbird: it was so small. Somehow it fell off the tree. I had never seen such a small nest before.
Later on in the day, I was driving home after making my daily trek to the post office and a turkey hen and her nine babies passed in front of me to my amazement. I stopped my car, mouth open, and let the baby turkeys pass.
I do not even know what turkey babies are called. What was even more interesting to me was at least half of the babies were a different size: she must have hatched half of her brood at a different time. I had never seen baby wild turkeys before in my life. You never know when the next discovery will come. It is all serendipity.
