Gail to the Rescue!

Yesterday, Gail rushed home to drop off a pigeon that she rescued.  It was on the road in busy traffic, and not moving.  Gail leaped from her car, halted multiple lanes of cars, and picked the lucky bird up in a blanket.  At home, it didn't look too hopeful, however, as the bird was jerking like it had a neurological injury, and was acting extremely stressed.  We covered up a carrier in the dark garage and let it rest for the night.

 This morning it looked fine!  Apparently, it had just suffered a concussion from colliding with a car or something.  On Gail's suggestion, I took it over to a rural area to release it.

 It stepped out of the carrier, and a second later exploded into flight.  Yeah!

It circled the area numerous times and then flew out of sight.  Go pigeon!
