caught by one of our cats. stunned and dropped all but one tail feather, but no visible injuries. (the cat being outside is not my choice, my parents let them out, i know the problems with it)
likely an older fledgling belonging to the pair of chipping sparrows that visit my feeders. we also had chipping sparrow fledglings in the yard last year. released shortly after the picture, since he was much more alert than earlier. hopefully my parents agree to keep cats inside for a few days.
