I can assure you, UK will not like our position, so you better find your own. I was very surprised to learn the outcome and I fear the hangover ...AlanF said:

Show your Bird Portraits

This morning my girlfriend and I were heading back to Vancouver from Pemberton, BC. when two small yellow birds swooped past my car. I was probably going around 40km/h. When we only noticed only one of the birds continue past our car we were worried we had hit one. I pulled over to check. I found this poor little guy stuck in the grill of my Ford Focus. He was still alive, and just sitting wedged between the bars of my grill. With a little bit of meneuvering we were able to get him out. My girlfriend, Jodi, was able to get him to sit on her hand and the little guy wouldn't leave. We were worried he was injured since he wouldn't fly away. We looked online for a animal shelter that may be able to help, with no luck. We brought him into the car, still sitting on Jodi's hand. after driving about 100 feet we decided he looked to scared last in a long car ride anywhere. We pulled over again and hoping he would fly off. After we set him on the old part of a fence pictured, I was went for my camera to grab a picture to remember him by. Still unsure of what to do I went back to the car again to grab some crackers to see if he would eat it. As I was returning he decided to fly off.
Can anyone ID the bird? I was having troubles finding a name online. (Other then Roger, Rog for short as Jodi decided to name him)
5D3 Sigma 150-600C

Click said:I think it's a Common Yellowthroat, juvenile female.
Nice pictures
I hope this little fellow feels better now.
Thanks Click, you look to be correct. I guess ill have to change all my ''he's'' to ''she's" and let my girlfriend know that perhaps there is a better name then Roger. I hope she feels better too.
Edit: My girlfriend decided to rename her Rogette

Hi Ryan and Jodi.
That is a great story, I hope the little lass made it too, it seems you did your best and if she was going in the same direction as you the impact speed may not have been more than a few kph.
Nice photos too.
Cheers, Graham.
