Hallelujah! With Helen's help, I was able to get the window in Elizabeth's window open (it was stuck), and the little Finch flew out. She held the blinds while I pulled on the window (it's an old sliding one and we had to open the side without the screen). Little bird happily flew out!!! Of course, the window is stuck now, open about 6 inches, but we'll go out on the roof with the ladder, later, and fix it. Whew!!!!
