Unannounced Guest....I took pics

Wednesday, August 11, 2010

I was at my desk when my oldest son comes running in the house pointing to the door saying "Mom, mom, come and look at this hurry up!"  The whole family went over to the front door and we saw this guest at our door.



I couldn't believe how calmly he was sitting there.  The 3 boys and I went out on to the porch.  I was certain he would fly away as soon as the storm door opened but he just sat there.  He began hopping around our front porch.  It became clear to me that he must be injured.  It was chirping as it hopped around the porch.







I guess he decided he had enough and started hopping down the stairs then. 


We have pillars on our porch from the banister to the porch roof. The tops of the pillars stick out but there is a space between the flat top of the pillar edge and the roof.  Birds often make their nests up there.  This bird still had some baby bird fuzz but didn't seem to be fresh out of the nest. 

I instructed the boys not to touch him.  My problems is I wanted to help him but I don't know the first thing about helping an injured wild bird.  He kept trying to fly and would only make it about a foot in the air and plopped back down.
