This morning we have seen our immature robin, who was injured several days ago, crashing into one of the windows, although this window had a screen on it but it was a hard enough crash to injure it in some way. Ever since that collision, we've seen it hopping and walking around. We have plenty of feed and water on the ground so it does not have to fly to get fed. But it does not fly, it only walks or hops. The right wing looks slightly askew. We wonder if it will heal and eventually to be able to fly. It's sad to think of it not surviving, since it seems healthy otherwise.
On another note, this morning I noticed a very small bunny in the grasses near one of the feeders. We'd seen it several days ago, very active. But today it is just sitting there, not moving, even when I came fairly close to it. I think it is a goner.
A couple of hours later: Sharp-shinned hawk flew in and swooped to the feeder, grabbed something, don't know what. I have not seen the bunny, but he's not on the feeder, so it was probably a bird. A redpoll and two pine siskins were there a few moments later, totally innocent!
