An unexpected guest

It's Superman...it's a plane...it's....A BIRD????? Yes, that's correct! It all happened this past Sunday night. Just my sister and I were home and we had gone out to take the dog for a walk. When we came back, I watered the tomatoes and the other plants. We were both looking for strawberries to pick and eat then went back inside the house. We sat down to watch a little tv and practice on my niece's video games. My cat had meowed (much like a crying meow) and I wondered what she was 'crying' about. We did one game and my sister had heard a noise that sounded like flapping of a bird's wings. I didn't hear it at first, but I went over to where the cat was and didn't see anything. A few minutes later, my sister went over to the same spot I was at and there on the window sill was a small bird. We figured it had flown in when we had the door open when we were watering the plants. After trying to scare the bird outside, the bird flying across the family room, calling the folks, I finally got a small plastic bag and put it over the bird. It was sitting still on the floor by a door...I assumed as soon as I put the bag over it, it would start flapping its wings. It must have been more scared of me than I was of it. It took a couple seconds but it did and I picked up the bag and ran to the front door (which my sister had open) and let the bird go free. It was an unusual situation but I am glad that the bird (which I think was a small sparrow) was released back into the outdoors. My sis and I sat back down on the couch and played a couple more races on the video games to calm down and to get more practice.
I hope you all are surviving this very WARM...ok, HOT day outside. It will be another sweltering day tomorrow as well. Try to stay cool.
