We were in the backyard the other night and I heard a baby bird making some noise. I looked down to see if I could see it only to find it hanging onto the fence. We brought it inside because the sun had set and it was beginning to get dark. We figured that some predator would eventually kill it if we left it outside. Jared bought a bird book a few summers ago so we referred to that and found out that it was a juvenile woodpecker.
We put him in a box for the night and put some water in there. He did fine although the cats were very curious to know what was in that box. The next morning we released him and away he flew hopefully to his nest.
