- Hi Jeff -
- I would love to see if this lady can be tracked down.
The picture looks like something Hollywood would be proud of. I could find
only one image and one site for this story. Surly, a fake this good would
get more attention...or, is it a fake?

- I was sitting on the sofa watching tv when I heard something
hit the window. I knew immediately that a bird had flown into the window,
as it has happened before.
-
- When I went outside I found this fuzzy bird lying in
the flower bed. It seemed stunned but unhurt. At first I thought it might
be some type of starling or catbird and thought that it might be ill. Especially
since it's wings lacked feathers.
-
- I went inside and got my son Jack and told him to get
the camera to take a picture. When I picked it up, it seemed to cling to
my hand in a funny way.
-
- I noticed my cat, Tippie, was acting very excited and
meowing a great deal, standing on her hind legs and trying to get at the
bird. She's never really done anything like that before. It seemd very
odd behavior for her. Suddenly the bird took flight from my hand and flew
to the roof.
-
- It seemed to have very pointy wings, but since it seemed
able to fly I felt that it was alright. Since she seemed very excited I
brought Tippie inside so she wouldn't get on the roof and disturb the bird,
just in case it was still up there and hadn't flown away yet. I thought
nothing more of it, except that for the rest of the afternoon, Tippie sat
at the window sill meowing in that cackling way cats do when they watch
birds.

- Oops ... looks like a nice Photoshop trick!
Several people alerted us to this website from
which this image might have come. It features some really amazing amalgams
and blends. Nice touch on the beak, especially.
