Uh oh.
The very same day I posted "percy dovetonsils" I opened the door to go to the yard and saw a Humpty Dumpty-like sight:
I immediately went upstairs to the window but s/he was still there. I hoped then that the little egg had fallen from some other window's ledge. The bird remained there 2 or 3 days but now is gone. I wonder if she was just traumatized.
Here's Lillian Gish protecting her brood and nest from "mad dog of a man", Robert Mitchum in Night of the Hunter (dir. Charles Laughton, 1955).
