Maybe there’s someone out there who can explain this. As I mentioned a few days ago, we spent the weekend in Vermont. Yesterday morning, I went out onto the deck of the house where we were staying and there was this little bird, sitting on the deck, who didn’t move a muscle when I approached. It looked like it was in a bit of a daze. This picture was taken from approximately 3 inches away from it.
We were afraid that a funeral was in store. The bird sat there for half an hour; then suddenly gave itself a shake and flew away. We later saw a bird of his/her description eating from the bird feeder, looking perfectly chipper. One of our friends speculated that he may have stunned himself by slamming against the window or house.
Anyway, I was ever so glad it was not a terminal case, since I could see I would be designated to dispose of the corpse.
