I just saw the weirdest thing

I tend to leave my bicycle out the front of the house in case I need it again during the day, and put it away in the evening.  This evening, I went to move it when I noticed something on the front tyre.

A baby blackbird.  I picked it up, it hopped out of my hand, and the mother came along to escort it away.

The mother didn't come near me, but she did squawk a bit I think.  I was too surprised in seeing the baby perched on my tyre to take much else in I think :-)
