This morning at 10 am, I went to let my dogs out on the deck where I have my bird feeders hanging, and as soon as I opened the door, there was a flurry of wings and confusion as 2 birds flew directly past me into the house!  I shouted at my dogs to stay away, before noting that the first little bird at my foot trying to get back out the door (through the glass) was a brightly colored Red-breasted Nuthatch. It looked like its wing might be damaged, but flew out the crack in the door as I tried to catch it.. (yay) Out of the corner of my other eye, I thought the larger bird must be a Mourning Dove, but when I moved over to see if I could corral that one out the door also, saw that it was a GORGEOUS Northern Shrike! He/she did bang into the window a little bit before making it's way out the door, but seemed to fly off alright once finding the opening in the door.  I hope they are both OK.. But if the nuthatch ISN'T ok, I hope that the Shrike finds him if I don't find him (to take him to VINS) first!!
