Can you see the poor bird in the photo? He crashed into my patio door. At this point, he had righted himself and sat there stunned and recovering for quite awhile. Then we noticed he had relocated under some hosta plants. Eventually, he moved on so I am happy to think he survived. I have stickers on my patio door but maybe I need bigger ones.
Then, several days later, husband M heard a thud against the bathroom window upstairs. The curtains were drawn. So he went downstairs, certain there would be a bird lying on the patio. Here he is, he sat stunned for a short while then he was okay.
Husband M decided to put a plate of water out, and this bird immediately started bathing and fluttering around it. It was a day when the squirrels were again looking quite exhausted from the heat. I used to have a bird bath then I got rid of it at the time the west nile mosquito virus was scaring everyone and they were warning us against standing water in our gardens.
