The "Hand's On" Approach...Up Close and Personal...


This beauty actually misjudged the glass for deep woods and got thunked. Thankfully he survived, and while my mom was rescuing him from the cats (who come running every thump they hear), she snapped off a few pictures of him up close and personal. Nothing beats a close up of a wild bird...and he was rather feisty already, so no permanent damage. After 3 pic's, mom let him sit on her hand, and he promptly headed into the woods on the non glass side of his view. Live to see another day, come on back for pictures! LOL

This is a CARDINAL, up close.

Hands on, got 3 good pics before she let him go!
Isn't he pretty??
He looks a bit ruffled, but you would too, if you'd just run breakneck into a glass window.
He's a lucky one, many don't survive the impact.

My most favorite bird in the whole world! And we get to have one visit once a year if we are that lucky! :)
I always take his visit as a sign of good things to come! :)
