Birding I.D. Today

For such a little bird, it hit the plate glass with a surprisingly loud thud. I am thankful this one was only stunned and upright on the patio. I took her up, checked the wings, and neck, lofted her on finger and thumb, and after several minutes she flew–just fine. An immature, female Hairy Woodpecker. She must have been in the yard for the sunflower seeds.
