It was very chilly and he was lying twisted beneath the window, so I went outside and gathered him up to move him out of the shade to a sunny spot.  I never know if it's better to move them, like I did, or to leave them so they won't be traumatized by me handling them.  Does anyone have any insight?  In this particular instance all's well that ends well, as he flew off a few minutes later.
