Today I am a hero!

[Hayabusa Rider]

A little bird flies into where I'm working. Sparrows do that all the time so no big deal. Eventually he perched near enough to me that I had a good look at him and I realized I had no idea what he was. I figured a warbler or wren, but exactly what I had no idea. I was able to take a couple minutes and determined he was a black-headed green warbler. Here is what one looks like.

Trying to catch him wasn't possible so he just flew around and around. After many hours of this I noticed he didn't fly high or far. He was beat. I took the opportunity and managed to get a basket over him and some cardboard underneath and took him out back. I think he'll be ok, and to my kids I'll be the hero of the day

So now there's an exhaust bird outside where it's dangerous. He's probably going to be eaten.

Asshole.

I found a wounded pigeon last summer and rather than let my cat kill and eat it I put it in a box and took it to the local animal hospital with my son. He still talks about that to this day...much better than the, "I saw dad kill a pigeon with a shovel" story.

Where do you live? There's a story on the news now about a bird that got caught in a plane's jet intake, causing it to crash and killing everyone on board.

Nice work.
