Yesterday I had a goldfinch hit the door and knock himself out. I picked him up, tooks a picture, then put him in the tree in my garden where he was safe, (the cat was in the house), and about 15 minutes later he flew off:)
When I first picked him up he couldn't even hold his head up. He just laid in my hand, I didn't think he would make it, but then sat up.
Here's looking out my new patio window door. Every morning while I drink my coffee, I sit in front of it and watch the birds. I have added a bird bath since taking this picture. They really seem to like it alot.

We had an Owl in the yard last night and I said, I have to tell you all. :) Unfortunately, I didn't see him but my son did. I have to check it out tonight. I sometimes have voles so I'm pleased there is an Owl around.
The fall birds are the best. Besides my year rounders, I have seen more of Flicker, Red breasted Nuthatches, White Breasted Nuthatches, White Throats by the dozens, I have 3 tube feeders out for the Gold Finches and I think I have to get another there are so many.
Although I love to see them, I have plenty of Hawks that scope out the feeders. I think they are beautiful but don't want them hunting the birds here.
That happened to a Finch here recently also. I thought he had broken his neck. He hit the window and was down in the garden. I went out to check on him. He was flat on his back and didn't look good. As I got closer, he popped up and flew off. That must have been incredible having him in the palm of your hand. Good happy endings. :)
Excellent pictures Becky! :)
I really like your new view. Looks like the birds are liking it as well. I would love to have a glass door next to my computer chair, but since I rent, it isn't really practical. Enjoy it!
That's amazing. Birds are such fragile creatures... it's wonderful that the little guy recovered from his experience. :)
