I had a male brown headed cowbird at my feeders this evening, a first for 
the deck.  While watching it, I heard a thump at the rear of the house and 
went out to find a sharpie spread-eagled on the ground with what looked like 
a broken wing.  I carefully picked her up with heavy work gloves on and gave 
her a few sips of water before placing her on the deck.  She let me get a 
few nice close-up pictures before flying up to the roof for five minutes and 
then took off, apparently none the worse for wear, to the woods, unlike last 
week's poor ruffed grouse!  I hope she didn't previously dine on that 
lovely, male rose breasted grosbeak, which has been here since last Friday, 
but which I last saw on the deck at 8 am this morning!
