Cool. Morning doves are always hitting our kitchen window this way. A
blue jay hit the window once and I found him laying on the ground with
his wings out. I picked him up and half his body seemed paralyzed.
One foot seemed normal, the other was clenched like a fist. So, he held
onto my index finger as we walked around the back yard, and after a few
minutes his other foot unclenched. At that point he seemed too scared
to try to fly away. I closed my eyes and looked away and he was out of
there.
