Recovery Stage

This sweet little goldfinch ignored the stickers on the kitchen window that were supposed to warn him - crash - landed on the little table beneath the window. Thought for sure he was dead but after laying there feet up for 15 minutes, he rolled over and sat up. Flew away shortly after I shot this.

I am so glad that the sweet little Goldfinch recovered! That familiar thud of bird hitting window makes me cringe. Thank goodness they recover more often than not. Pretty picture, especially with your trademark sharp focus on the eye. I'm looking forward to the color change to begin on the Goldfinches. Those bright yellow males are such a joy to behold!

I'm glad he was okay. Might have had a headache tho. Poor little guy. Nice capture.

Poor baby! Hope he is really ok. Thanks for voting for my potato pic!! :)

[Rosan]

Aww, poor little guy! Hope he's OK. Must not be too bad if he flew away.

[Jane Pittenger]

Glad he survived. We had a hawk hit the Windows a few weeks ago and die

Wonderful capture, feather details

We have one every now and then fly into our windows, but they usually bounce off and eventually fly on off. Glad this one was able to make it. Super shot of this one.

Great capture, it is amazing the knocks they take and just keep on going.

[Irene Marshall]

I thought he wasn't feeling well, pleased he flew away. A great way to brake their necks, beautiful capture.

Great shot. So impressive how they somehow recover after such a smack. Not always though.
