December 26

This little Golden-Crested Kinglet flew into the window and lay stunned on the deck.
Luckily the dogs were inside snoozing beside the woodstove. She was motionless at first but seemed to recover in the warmth
of my hand, and gave herself a little preening. Finally she flew away, seeming no worse for her ordeal.
Such a tiny wee thing and such perfection.

Glad she made it! I've had a few strikes here on different windows too, and have since put up a few different deterrents ... with success so far. :-)

Bird strikes on windows are so common, sadly, but luckily this little one survived. Such perfection as you say. V
