And after 10 stitches...
I couldn't wear shoes for a while. I had to show a pony in-hand a few days later, so I found some loose-fitting boots and gritted my teeth. We left for vacation the day after I took the stitches out, so I wore Crocs and flip-flops in WY and MT. Managed to get hiking boots on twice.
Oh, the important part - I took the chickadee out to where he was found, and held him up while he was cheeping madly. I finally heard, then saw the parents, and put him on a high branch near them. He was really ready to fledge, so I hope he survived.
Oh, yeah, I'm posting these pics now, because I finally got my computer straightened out so I could post pics from my phone - I was having trouble doing that.
