A few days ago we were getting ready to pull into our driveway but had to wait for a car to pass. We were upset to see the passing car hit a cardinal. It was just flipping around in the middle of the road so we decided to atleast set it on the shoulder to keep it from being hit again. My son being the way he is decided to give it a look over to see how badly it was hurt. Of course his sister wanted to see and they were going to find a box hoping it wasn't to terribly hurt and could nurse it back to health. I think it is just so amazing how the bird is nuzzling him like it knew he would take good care of it. I decided to grab my camera because it isn't that often you can get that close to a cardinal. I kid you not that after about 10 minutes or so of my son loving on that bird it up and flew away. WOW amazing! We were sure it's wing had been broken. I am guessing that it was probably just stunned. I love a good ending. I also really love this picture.
One day a bird hit our car (or vise versa) when we were driving to Sherman. It hit and got stuck in the wiper blades with the wind blowing it we thought it was dead, so we just kept driving. After about 5 miles of driving it fluttered and it didn't look like the wind was fluttering it...so Bobby stopped and got it out of the wiper blade mechanism and held it a minute and then it flew away. I am so glad we noticed that it fluttered.
