Opened my shade this morning, and noticed a little yellow thing on the roof outside my window. Looked a bit closer, and realized it was an injured bird. Went with my dad and took the ladder to the front of the house to try to get it down, and it heard the noise, got scared, and flew off, pretty much straight down onto the grass. We picked it up and put it it in a shoebox, then called the animal hospital. They gave us the number for a "wildlife hotline" run by the Humane Society. Left a message there, and got called back with the contact info of a songbird rescue place called The Recovery Wing in Southington. Drove up there with the bird in the shoebox, and gave it to the lady there. She said it had a broken wing, but she'd try her best to fix it.
Here's the little guy, btw:
