This Bird in the Hand is Also the Bird in the Bush - photograph of a stunned cardinal, and there is a happy ending

The spouse-person found this poor thing semi-conscious on the front porch. Apparently it had bashed its head against the glass door. I took a pair of gloves and rescued the bird, placing it gently in a rose bush.  The bird did not want to let go of the glove and so I left glove and bird in a safe place.  Apparently the bird recovered, for an hour later it was gone.
