For it but didn't know what to do. So about an hour ago went and scooped it up and put it on the surface of a stump of oak tree to be in the sun, got it some water and went back to work.

I wasn't factoring Hercules the Barn Cat who just saw it from about twenty feet away and was like "what the - that bird is perched in a highly visible place and doesn't seem to be moving."

RIP whatever kind of bird you were. Probably a mercy.
