January 11, 2009 - Downy Woodpecker Rescued Print E-mail
This morning a hawk flew through the feeder area and spooked all the birds.  A female downy woodpecker that was on the suet feeder flew straight into our sliding glass door and dropped head first into the snow.  I thought she was dead, but I ran and got a towel to see if I could lay her on that hoping she might revive.  As I lifted her out of the snow, she flew out of my hand, banged into the glass again and then flew off toward the woods.
