Hi folks,
 
Since the semester ended, Hubby has a list of things for me to do.  One of them was to reorganize the kitchen - UGH!  Anyway, we were in the midst of kitchen carnage this evening when I noticed something fluttering against the kitchen window.  It's not unusual for moths to be attracted to this window above the sink, but I thought it was awful late in the year for a moth, even the really large moths we get around here.  Then I really looked at it and realized it was a Goldfinch, and it was dark out - about 7PM.  I turned off the lights in the house and went outside to find the finch sitting on the windowsill.  I picked it up and placed it in a nearby dense shrub.  I know that abberant bird behavior normally means a sick bird.  Any ideas for what this bird might have been doing?
