Many years back, we successfully returned a cardinal baby and a nest. The wind took it out of the tree and one of the chicks died because it fell in direct sunlight on the pavement. The fall didn't kill it, the heat did. Nailed a cool whip tub with holes and the nest in it on the tree close to where it fell. Took a darned high ladder and some conquering of vertigo to do it too. The parents came back to care for it, but after a week I lost track of what became of it. I would like to report that I would do it again, but I am unsure that I would for the risks involved. Look at it this way. The chick was no worse off for your intervention. Natural selection was already at work. Perhaps you recall the scene from Lawrence of Arabia, where Peter O'Toole braves a sand storm to save one of his straggling men only to be forced to shoot him moments later for a crime. Life has its ways of working things out. posters.imdb.com
