A Bird in the Hand is Better Than Two in the Bush

Fort Loramie, Ohio

After flying into our patio window, this Cardinal was dazed for about 30 minutes. He then regained his composure and flew away.

wow - what a great story! Sounds like you guys did both a favor - you gave the bird a chance to survive a tough moment and in return he gave you a great photo.
