Stunned

This little dark eyed junco bashed into our window, leaving it a little stunned. Normally I would leave them alone, but it was on the metal trash can in sub freezing temperatures.

I grabbed a shoe box, gently put the bird in, and brought it inside to rest.

After about 20 minutes, the birds started to rustle around in the box and I took the box back outside and opened it up. A very irritated bird flew out and into the trees.
