This little guy flew into the sliding doors by the deck. He was down with his eyes closed and barely breathing. I picked him up and held him in my hands, stroked his head and tried to keep him warm. After a while he started to rally and get back. It took a while but he eventually flew off.
Such a wonderful rescue: it looks like a type of woodpecker - - do you know ??? We have a good many woodpeckers in our local mountains, but I've never seen one like that out west...

Very nice what you did. You probably saved his life. If you keeping that up you will become known as the bird whisperer.

This confirms that heroes may be found everywhere, even on UHH. Well done my hero for the day!

Hi agillot, I do have some butterfly stickers attached that I purchased from Wildbirds Unlimited but apparently they do not work that well.

Good thing you didn't try mouth to mouth.
But it was a good thing you did for a beautiful bird.
