Tuesday, May 15, 2012 A Bird In the Hand (photo by Ian) This afternoon Ian and Lisa both heard a thump at the window. They found this little fellow lying belly up on the front lawn, stunned from a hard impact with the window glass. Happily he appeared to regain his wits after a few minutes of hand holding, then completed his recovery in a nearby tree, For the record, this is a Magnolia Warbler (Setophaga magnolia).
