Do you believe things happened at certain time for a purpose (good)? I do! I had an early meeting on Friday and postponed to afternoon. When I went to check my feeding station, I found this poor thing on my deck. Not sure how long she was there. She looked scared and closed her eyes. I picked her up and covered her with a warm towel and I started talking to her.....and wished she well and coming back .

An Ornithologist told me once, when bird hit window, they most likely don't survive. I refuse to believe that. We should not ignore a life, no matter that life is small or big. Everyone deserves a second chance. And, she brought me a sunshine and a surprise this morning. Watch video to find out what it is :)

I agree with you and not the ornithologist re:bird strikes. Of the birds I know of that have hit my windows over the yrs most survive. As you did with the downy I put them in a safe place and wish them well.
