It was oddly almost 70 degrees outside yesterday, so Zach and I decided to open our front door, including our glass door. Respectively studying for our finals we hear a loud BANG! A curious little cardinal decided to fly right by our door and BAM - ran straight into our open glass door. Perplexed on our porch, he didn't move. Zach picked him up to help him fly, but he wouldn't budge. Then Zach says, go get the camera, this is a great photo! Reluctantly, I went and got it. I felt bad exploiting this injured bird for a great photo op. As you can see, I didn't feel that bad.
The bird remained still for a good 15 minutes. We were hesitant to leave him by himself knowing that our neighbors had cats. Suddenly, out of the corner of my eye I see the neighbors grey can eyeing the entire situation. Shoot! What should we do, the little bugger wasn't ready to fly yet.
So, Zach picked him up again and brought him to our side porch rail, to keep an eye on him. About 7 more minutes went by and he finally flew to the nearest tree. Zach said he felt so much joy to see him fly away. What an experience. We closed our door after that. ~ amazing

Cute story.
Aren't they just the most beautiful birds? We have them in Texas too and I feel like us Californians have missed out on something our whole lives!
Hope your finals are going well!
