RE: BIRD DOWN! MEDIC! Someone bring me a knife! Get the Ladder too!!
Bravo! I really needed a story to perk me up and this was it! It is wonderful how you protected this lovely creature and freed it from it's snare. You must be a kind soul, indeed. Do you know what kind of bird he is?

Yes indeed I do, it is a Colorado Native Woodpecker, the Red Bellied.

Here is the Wiki page if you wanted more information. I am very glad that it was not hurt any further than its toe being pretty beaten. I do think it will be fine though and I am so glad to know it will live at least another day.
The time spent with the bird was dear to my soul indeed and I am honored to be the one to have had the opportunity to care for it.
