Re: bird rescue - brave or dumb?

Yeah, it made me feel good to see it fly off to join its parents. 
Wind finally drove me inside tonight - murderous out of the North. 
Was in the 90's yesterday - going down to the 40's tonight.   Almost
as bad as that wind in Claremore last weekend.  Now THAT was bad. 
Fran and Tricia, is the wind that bad in your parts of Oklahoma too??
Andrea - is the hand any better?
