A bird in the Hand




Saturday morning, I heard a thump on the window. Mr. Cardinal had hit the window over the kitchen sink. He was laying in the flower box below the window when I found him. He was dazed. I checked him over best I could. He slowly perked up & tried to fly, right into the side of the hubby's truck. I picked him up, again. A bit later he tried to to fly, again. This time right into the sun room window. I was beginning to think he was either brain damaged or suicidal. A bit later he flew & landed on a branch of one of our holly trees. I checked back on him a couple of times. He was still sitting on that same branch. Maybe after 1/2 hour he must have flown off. I went out & checked below the tree to make sure he didn't fall off the branch. So now he's a bird in the bush.

Poor guy! I hope he's all right. Let us know if you see him again. Great pics.

Mark- Thanks! I kept telling him that he couldn't die on me.

He looks like a young 'un. Teenagers...

I agree with HIB! He was probably wacky on the dope!

Great pics. The birds we have here are huge crows that are grey and black. I'm not touching one if I can help it. I have yet to see or hear a cardinal.
