Bird rescue today

I went outside a little while ago and there was a Wood Thrush running around outside my door on the ground. That in itself is not too unusual, but this one didn't fly away after I got within a foot of it, so I walked up to it and (after it running around for a minute) picked it up.

It is a young adult, but fearing that the dogs may decide it was their toy, or that it may have a broken wing, I decided to get it and help it out for a while.

We have many songbirds that nest on our property ranging from several varieties of woodpecker and cardinals, to wrens and many other animals besides birds. And seeing as how I was practically raised in a zoo (my mom has always raised exotics animals and rescues ranging from lions and cougars to monkeys and coatimundies) I have a natural affection for all things wild.

So I shall help it out until it's back to health and then let it go again and hopefully all will be well.
