So I'm out walking my field today with my dogs and one of them spots some movement over near a pine tree and starts barking up a storm. I go over there and carefully camouflaged under the tree I see this wild Mini-basket sitting on her nest.
this wild screeching from behind. I turn around and there I assume the father Mini-basket up on a fence post ready to lunge down on me so I quickly ran away.
from a safe distance both the parents flew off over to the pond and I quickly raced back over to the nest to snap a picture. One cute little baby mini-basket snuggled safely amid odd socks and gaunch.
