Bird update

After watching the bird family all day yesterday merrily flitting around our garage, we were dismayed today as all four baby birds went down inside a double-hung window between inner and outer panes. Two were dead when Deb found them. She called me about 4 pm and asked me to come home from work to try and save the remaining two. I had to break a window pane with a hammer to get them out. We put them in a shoe box with a clothe. We tried to give them drops of water. The local bird store recommended morsels of damp cat food. The third one died. With one remaining we made a wire screen top and are still trying to get food and water to the last one.

More as it happens.
