This morning a sweet, brilliantly plumed little male Goldfinch flew headlong into my kitchen window and bounced back onto the deck where it lay stunned on its back for a minute or so, while I and three house guests gave gentle words of encouragement and kept watch for the cat. Finally, with just a small assist from my hand, it righted itself and flew off.
Not fifteen minutes later I opened the door to my office to let in some cool morning air and two medium sized birds with grey bodies and black heads flew in. Each immediately flew to a different window, but then, miraculously and quite quickly, each found its way out the open door.
Strangely, or maybe better put, serendipitously, the reason I came to my office this morning is to finish this post that features bonsai pots with bird designs.
