This little Dark-eyed Junco met up with the glass at full speed this morning. After holding him, and petting him a while, he was able to fly away.
Yes, I know I could put something on all the windows and doors that would possible prevent these crashes, but I have decided against it. Maybe that's cruel, but I don't want to clutter up the windows.

I don't blame you. I have WAY too many windows/glass doors to cover... can't possibly do that. BESIDES--it gives you a chance to love the little birds every once in awhile.
Cute little Junco...
Hugs,

Because of his misfortune,you got to hold this wild bird for a while.He is so cute.
I'm so glad it was OK and it sure gave you some great photo opportunities! How cool to hold it for awhile. It looks very calm. I agree about putting something on the glass...I don't like doing that either. I have one titmouse that keeps pecking at the sliding glass door, but I really don't know what I can do about it, and it doesn't fly into the glass....just flutters and pecks. I actually hung a feeder right where it likes to peck hoping it would land on the feeder instead. It does sometimes, but still is bothered by what it sees there. We can only do so much.
Those are the sweetest photos, how nice that you got to hold the little one..and it looks no worse for wear. xo
I'm glad he was able to fly away. I cringe whenever birds do that here. Nice photos of him!
Poor little fellow but I am with you in trying to teach them not to fly into the glass. They will do it somehow, no matter what.
He's so sweet! How wonderful you were able to hold him and enjoy him a while. I'm glad he recovered.
