Chicken Teriyaki Bowl #7

My dogs were barking longer than usual at something.  From the window I could see they were all staring at something in the road.  It was a little red finch that looked stunned, like it had hit a car.  When I approached it fluttered a bit, but I picked it up and it calmed down.

Except for some rumpled feathers on its left wing, it seemed OK and not in pain.  I walked it over to the flower bed, but before I could place it under the wisteria, it fluttered down into hiding.

The dogs lined up against the fence and eyed the spot all afternoon.  By the next day, the finch was gone; hopefully under its own power and not due to the cat.
