Today I did a lot of work in the yard clearing out dead stuff and enjoying  goldfinches. I prefer having an upsidedown finch feeder since we have a plethora of sparrows that will drain my feeders in minutes leaving much debris in their wake. I was in cleaning up and came to the back door and noticed a goldfinch just sitting there.

Odd, I thought, since she didn't move when I got closer. Upon inspection I noticed feathers stuck to my back door.

Can you see the little feathers?  The poor little bird crashed right into the back door and is stunned.

I am hoping for no internal injuries.  So sad!!
