I have had good luck reviving birds after window crashes. Usually they are just stunned, nothing broken. The key is to keep them in a warm, dark place for 2-5 minutes. I keep a small cardboard box with a lid handy and a soft cloth that can be heated briefly in dryer or microwave. Be sure to go outside before taking the lid off! Some recover after being held for just a few seconds. This was the case with a Black and White warbler yesterday.

Standing on my porch this morning I was dismayed when a Hooded Warbler, which I've never before seen in Maine, crashed into a window on my house on Highland Street in Portland. Not the best way to make its acquaintance, but after a few minutes he rallied and flew off.
