Rescue Mission in the Greenhouse

Yesterday morning, while I was standing at the kitchen window looking at the greenhouse, I noticed some movement inside of it.  I could tell it was a bird flying back and forth ... lost in the window-filled space, unable to figure out that the door was wide open.  I put on my shoes, grabbed my camera, and headed out there to see what I could do.

There were TWO robins in there!  Both of them must have been there for a while and they were SO tired and frightened.  They each sat very still while I took their picture ... then I realized that I could probably just reach out and catch them to put them out the door.

That's exactly what I did.  One at a time, I pinned each robin against the window, got a firm grip on it, and I carried it to the door and let it go.  (Unfortunately, you'll have to imagine what this looked like because I couldn't hold the bird AND get a picture of it.)  I looked all over and didn't find any sign of a nest ... they must have been in there hunting bugs.

Now I know why they call them 'bird brains'
