That birds who smash into your window are incredibly resilient...this male Yellow Bellied Sap Sucker crashed into the window yesterday, so I ran outside and scooped him up off the cold ground:
Such a beautiful bird, and I wasn't sure he would make it based on how heavily he was breathing:
Had to get him off the cold ground and elevated to a spot where the cats would not get him. Wrapped lightly in a towel and left him there to recover:
Checked on him periodically, and when the FedEx driver showed up about an hour later that motivated him to fly off.
Success!
