Today almost started out sadly. I was reading the Sunday paper (on the Kindle) in our sunny "breakfast nook" with its big floor-to-ceiling glass doors...when I heard a BANG! Looked out, and there was a bird on the patio that had clearly flown right into the window and seemed to be dying, on its back with little feet waving slowly back and forth...
Fortunately, just about the time my wife got up and I mentioned this--15 minutes later or so--I looked again and the bird was standing on those little feet--but still unclear whether it could do any more. Then, about 20 minutes later, it opened its eyes. After about 10-15 more minutes, it started hopping across the patio and testing its wings. Finally, to our cheers, it flew away more than an hour after the crash. (There was no blood on the window, so we were hopeful.)
