Feel free to share your photos and other birding-related content here. If a photo you post isn't yours, please credit the original creator! Additionally, it would be appreciated if the location of the sighting and a date were given when a photo or question is posted. You do not have to give the precise location, something like "Northern Idaho, June 2023" or even "North-Western US, June 2023" suffices.

I'm not sure what was going on, I'm hoping it was just tired. I have some stray cats in the neighborhood so I managed to grab it and look it over (I've got a zoology degree, and used to be a zookeeper, I don't usually try to handle wildlife but wanted to make sure it was okay). I put it up in a nearby tree to get it off the ground. It flew higher up into the tree, and was gone about an hour later when I went to check on it.
