This juvenal tanager flew into the glass door at the zoo, even though all of the glass surfaces had writing or some type of materials on them. It knock itself out, but quickly began to recover. Placed it in a tree where we could watch it for awhile until it seemed to recover and flew off.

Ouch!!! Poor thing. Good to hear it did recover. Hopefully it will not make that mistake again too soon.
