Mama doesn't like it when I get too close to her babies. I think I may have gained her trust now though as I retreated and waited for her to check in. You can see that the geranium is hanging in there despite me not being able to care for it. Soon enough.
@pamknowler Thanks Pam. I think she's actually trying to get them to begin flying. She comes up, hovers, then backs off. I figure she's ready to be back living the good life again by now.
