Northern Cardinal

Patient 0002-2016, Northern Cardinal hit a window yesterday. The rescuers saw him hit the window and fall to the ground. Unable to stand the cardinal is now mobile. He will be monitored until tomorrow then released if he passes flight school 101!
When you find a bird that has hit a window, we recommend putting the bird in a cloth lined box with a secure lid and placing in a quiet area. Let the bird rest 1-2 hours. Take the bird outside and if they fly off, wonderful. If the bird is unable to fly then call us at 540-798-9836. Photo by Lydia Hoeppner.
