Ijams AmeriCorps naturalist Laura Marsh e-mailed:
"I was in the Multi-Purpose room in the Visitor Center and saw a blur of a bird fly up and —smack!—hit the window. It didn't look hurt, so I went outside to check on it. As I approached, it was either too stunned or too delirious to fly away and it let me pick it up! I was so excited to see a warbler so up close that I got a volunteer to grab the camera to document. I let it rest and catch its breath, and eventually I coaxed it back to a tree where it thankfully was able to fly away."

The stunned bird is a magnolia warbler in non-breeding plumage.
- Thanks, face-painting Laura.
