Birds Are Back Celebrity Challenge

Here's the Hermit Thrush that we saved from the sidewalk in downtown Halifax on Wednesday morning. It apparently had collided with the TD building on the corner of Barrington and George St, and was cold and probably in a bit of shock when we first found it. After a bit of quiet time in a warm place the little fellow seemed ready to face the world again. Emma Boardman and I took it up to Needham Park and let it go, ( Emma took the photo,) The little fellow was likely a bit tired but seemingly none the worse for wear.
