We heard a dull thud this morning, and fearing the worst, I went onto the patio. There, lying on its back was this beautiful finch, breathing heavily and clearly very stunned. We picked him or her up, seeing a few feathers on one side of the head very scuffed from colliding with the kitchen window. One eye was closed shut, the other starting to open. About twenty minutes later and a couple of comfort stops on Wendy's hand, all seemed back to almost normal. Glad I had the D300 to hand!

Female. She flew into a window but after a few minutes recovered and off she went as if nothing had happened.

We were staying with friends in Dalton MA when this lovely bird flew headlong into their kitchen window. My wife did her nurse impression and cradled the bird until she stirred and flew off as if nothing had happened. An hour or so later we were on the road to Boston to fly home ourselves.

Young greenfinch after flying into the kitchen window. After half an hour, a recovery was achieved and it flew off into a tree, staying there quite a while. A stunning experience for the poor bird. One of two that collided at the same time. The other one was not so lucky.
