Your idea of “slight stunning concussions” makes a lot of sense to me. On another occasion I was driving on the Mamalahoa Hwy between Kona and Waimea in fairly busy traffic. There was a wonderfully red Northern Cardinal standing perfectly still on the yellow center line. Cars and trucks were whizzing by it on both sides.
I quickly pulled over and ran out to the middle of the road and picked him up and took him back into my car. He didn't appear to have a single feather out of place.
A few minutes later we arrived home and I took him out of the car with the birdie on my open palm. He flew off toward the woods that were behind the house.

By the way, that story you told of the Wilson's Warbler that your wife protected inside of her lingerie - "Imagine the cool story he told his friends that night!"
