Birds hit our large windows all the time. Lately they’ve bounced right off and flew
away. When we first moved here, I buried
many birds in the backyard. No fun at a
hundred degrees.
She's stunned after fluttering around in a circle flapping her wings.
To my horror, a female oriole hit the window the other
day. I was shocked and crossed my
fingers she would be okay as I watched her flopping around trying to get her
bearings. I didn’t want to have to bury
an oriole. We don’t have that many and
they’re so pretty.
This one is scary. I didn't know what was happening.
She sat on the patio the longest time. I was waiting for her to keel over because I
thought something was probably broken. I
couldn’t take my eyes off her and got a few pics of her stunned state.
Improving a tiny bit
Finally, I felt such a relief when she took off for the tree
before flying home where she nests a few houses away. Later a group of females came back to drink
from the feeder. I think she was
probably with them, but it’s hard to know since they all look alike. I hold the belief she was there and feasting
after her ordeal.
