Was sitting at my computer and heard a thump. Familiar sound of a bird flying into a window. A few minutes later, looked out on the balcony and yes, a young Red Whiskered Bulbul was just sitting on the balcony floor in front of the glass door.

He hit pretty hard as he was quite stunned and it knocked the crap out of him, literally.

Didn't know what to do so picked it up to move to a larger space on the balcony and it did flap its wings. Had my wife take a look and started to pick it up again to check its legs and she said no, wait a while to see how well it recovers. It just sat there still. I came back about 15-20 minutes later and it was on the balcony rail. A few seconds after it saw me and the camera, off it went.

Love a happy ending. Olympus E-M1 Mark III, Olympus 40-150mm PRO plus MC20

Know that familiar sound. Glad yours worked out okay.
Beautiful bird.
I was told once they need warmth after such a mishap.
I've put them in an open shoe box or even egg container with small birds and a bit of cloth to hide drafts.
Never knew if it made any difference.

This is in northern Thailand and current temperature is 32C or 90F so think he's going to be warm enough.

This really is such a versatile lens. Focus-stacked hand held at 1/20s on EM1.3. This is the in-camera stack (shriek, horror - it's an out of camera JPEG; well out of my comfort zone ) with a little tweaking in LR.

Seems you’ve cracked it already! Lovely shots!

I'm learning, but I'm so impressed with this lens, on a star tracker (MSM) and a cheap shaky tripod, it just does such a fantastic job. This is a single photo, with minor editing of the entire photo, no area specific editing at all. This is what comes out of one 60 second exposure on a Move Shoot Move Rotator.

I rented this lens last week. I’d intended to use it to photograph a cross country race the next morning, but hadn’t realized the autofocus wouldn’t work with my G9. Much cheaper lesson that if I’d bought it. I took a hike with it and was pleased with the handling and the resulting images. Perhaps I’ll add an OM-D body to my lineup, because I do want that extra 50mm (compare to my 35-100 lumix) for sports sometimes.

The falls shot is beautiful

Thanks. It is of Bull Creek at the border of St. Edwards Park in the northwestern part of Austin, Texas.
