Helping Birds Survive Window Strikes

[Donna]

A hawk dives into your yard, and a frightened robin  slams against a window, mistaking the transparent rectangle for an escape route. But you can help. Fold its wings gently over its body in their natural position, grasp the bird lightly, and wrap it loosely several times in the towel. Keep the wrapped bird indoors for about 15 minutes. Then step outside and gently unwrap the bird. Very likely, it will fly away. If you find a sick or injured bird, consult a wildlife rehabilitation expert near you.
