Urban/ Rural neighborhood
Found this little bird in my backyard. It had hit one of the windows of our house, fortunately on the screened side. I watched it for a bit and when I was pretty sure that it wasn't terribly hurt, I picked it up to put it up on the fence. It wouldn't leave my thumb, so I spoke quietly to it and slowly walked around the yard. Eventually it flew up into a tree.
I've experienced it, when I got a chance to rescue a baby squirrel. It was totally delightful to nurture it and watch it grow :)) Thanks for sharing yours :)
