Default Life

I was sitting in my office, paying bills, concentrating on the paperwork in front of me when suddenly I saw a flurry of winged activity and
BAM !!!

A bird hit the bay window. Hard.

I was startled and looked outside to see a Robin fluttering her wings.
She came to rest in a small divot and flattened herself into it.
She was panting. I didn't know birds panted.
She was flat, guarded and dazed. I watched her, wanting to check on her, and knowing if I did it would add to her trauma.

And she kept panting. Her little body was shaking with each breath.
Then her head slowly dropped, her eyes started closing and her little body quieted. And I thought...actually I blurted :

"C'mon Baby, don't die..."

and she just faded.

A minute or two later she twitched and her eyes jerked open. Nothing around. She closed her eyes and her little head dropped again. Same thing... a little bird jerk, eyes popped open and she looked around.

I watched her, and watched over her for 20 minutes before she wobbled to her little stick legs, and flew into a nearby tree.

That was one tough little bird.
