There's a bird in the chimney

Yes, we had a bird in the chimney this month.  Jason was working from home and Mom Hebdon was with us helping out after Taylor was born.  We were sitting in the living room when we heard some rustling in the chimney.  After some discussion and looking from the inside of the chimney, Jason went on the roof and looked.  Sure enough, a little bird (maybe some type of woodpecker)...ok not so little but not as big as the black birds we have in our yard...was caught in the chimney.  Jason opened the flu and the bird came down into the fireplace which we had boarded up.  Jason proceeded to use a sheet to try to trap the bird to get it outside but in the end just had to grab it with a gloved hand and carried it outside.  He threw it into the air and the bird took flight until it crashed into the neighbor's gutters.  In the end, the bird was set free but I don't know if it will survive.  At least Jason tried to be an "animal rescuer" like Dora and Diego.  We tried to wait for the kids to get home from school before setting it free but the bird wanted out so they just had to hear about it, not actually witness it.  No pics of this one as it all happened so fast and I was needed for more important jobs (like holding the flashlight and opening the door) than taking pictures.  Oh, well!
