p.1 #1 · Birds & windows don't mix


This little fellow flew into our kitchen window, despite us having stickers on the window to help prevent this from occurring. He was unconcious on the sidewalk. I picked him up and placed him on a screen above the ground on his side. After about 5 minutes he raised himself to a sitting position, which is when I took this photo. After about 10 more minutes he flew into a nearby tree.
Hopefully he will have recovered completely. Often they end up breaking their necks.

Poor little guy, I hope he is okay, I am getting much to attached my Chickadee's and I went and spoiled them, I held out some black seed for them the other day and the Chickadee looks at my hand flies over and lands on the container of seed I am holding looks inside looks at me and doesn't take any, he wants the walnuts or the peanut butter cake I make them instead.

Tony, That's one way to get a close up, and a good one at that.

It's a great shot and he doesn't look too shell-shocked or anything

p.1 #8 · Birds & windows don't mix


Happened to me recently - I use half-shut vertical blinds to warn them. Works great but one time a finch crashed into the glass and was unconscious. I went out to remove what I thought was a body, but she perked up a little and actually stepped onto my fingers like a parrot would do. I gave her some head scratches and she closed her eyes a little. Her head kept nodding like she was going in and out. Finally she woke up completely, realized that she was sitting on some dude's hand, and flew off. Happy ending I think.... I hope...

Thanks for all the kind comments.

Chestnut-backed Chickadees are the most cheeky of the songbirds around here and I am surprised that more are not killed by cats.

I was taking photos of hummingbirds with my telephoto once, and a chickadee actually landed on the end of my lens. Too bad someone else didn't get a photo of it.
