poor bird

I’m having a hard time believing it’s March. Where did February go? I totally missed it! Oh well. Things have been crazy busy around here – hence the lack of blogging on my part. Sorry! I promise there will be a tutorial this Tuesday (I’m such a slacker!).  I had my first sinus infection since high school a couple weeks ago and it wiped me out. I really hope that doesn’t happen again. Ever. (I can hope, right?!)

Anyway, I’m back on my feet and back to my usual business.

A few nights ago, I was working on some new notebook designs in my studio. The boys were all in the back yard playing some baseball so I had my window open (to listen in on the fun). I heard a really interesting bird call so I turned to look out the window. Right then, I see a bird coming full speed toward me/the window. Yep. You guessed it. He hit the window and dropped to the ground (my studio is on the second story). He hit so hard he left feathers on the glass.

I ran downstairs and outside to find the bird. Sure enough he was in the grass – alive. He flew away a few minutes later. Chris took this awesome photo of the bird before he flew away. The bird had two bright red markings on each wing and bright yellow markings on his tail feathers. Really beautiful bird! I’m glad he’s ok.

Now, I just need to find out which kind of bird he is! Any ideas?
