Female Cardinal And Front Door

by Carrol Betts
(Chiefland, FL)

Today we heard a loud thump, something hitting the front door. As my husband Terry went to investigate, he discovered a little female cardinal had hit the glass on the front door.

He picked the cardinal up, she seemed a little disoriented but not injured. After several minutes of petting her, he handed her to me and I started stroking her. (I think she was enjoying the attention.).

After several minutes had passed, she was able to fly on her own. She headed for the front tree. I checked on her to make sure she was ok. She was able to join the rest of her family. She seems fine. Today was a good day.
