October 5, 2005: Injured American Goldfinch

Windsor, ON Canada

This poor little bird was sitting on an outer window ledge at Ojibway Park's nature center.
Tom, one of the nature centre employees, told us that the bird had smacked the window pretty hard.
When he tried to pick it up to rescue it, it tried to fly away but again hit the window.
So, we all let it be after shooting a couple frames.
Sharon and I returned later, to take tippy for a walk.
He must have made out okay because he was gone when we went to check on him.
No feathers, no blood and no carcass.
Thankfully, he was just a bit stunned and needed to be left alone to recover.

Here are some alternates from Sharon and my half day of cycling..
