In which a tragedy is averted by the judicious application of a skirt.

Picture042.jpgThis baby just now got caught between the panes of one of the windows in my home office and fluttered for awhile. I lowered the window as much as I could, hoping it would be able to get out, but it couldn’t.

So I stuck an article of clothing in there next to it, and eventually it figured out that the cloth, unlike the glass, would give it some purchase and it climbed out.

It sat on top of the skirt for a minute, then flew around the room bonking into the windows for awhile… and then it accidentally hit the open window low enough and escaped!

(I was able to blog this so quickly by snapping a picture with my cell phone and emailing it directly to Flicker and then pressing the “Blog This” button in Flickr. God, I love the Internet.)
