A sad thing has happened, right in the middle of a happy day. The outside birds were having a good lunch at the feeders, squawking, flapping about, enjoying the warm spring sun on their wings. Suddenly, there was a terrific thump. A bird had mistakenly flown right into one of the sliding glass doors. The poor bird dropped to the deck floor, trembled all over, and was still. It was a young red winged blackbird, with soft fluffy brown and orange feathers. We feel bad, because we worry that she could see us inside, and ignored the stickers on the glass in her eagerness to get in. We are comforted by the old saying that all birds believe is true, "He knows when a sparrow falls."
