this bird crashed into a large picture window in the back of our house. while it was recovering from the impact, it was kind enough to hold still and pose for some photos. it recovered and flew away a little while later, despite the fact that rachel and nick were busily constructing a cardboard bird hospital for its extended convalescence.

sean dreilinger: thanks for the bird identification aunt sine!
noromdiam: Poor birdie, good thing the cats didn't get to it first! Why is it holding feathers in its mouth?
sean dreilinger: rachel and nick witnessed the crash, i only ran in afterwards to make photos. i'm guessing it groomed itself and pulled out a few feathers in the process.
Diego Patagónico: awesome! i luv birds!!! take a look at my pics! i have a lot of birds in my photo album
