Feel free to share your photos and other birding-related content here. If a photo you post isn't yours, please credit the original creator! Additionally, it would be appreciated if the location of the sighting and a date were given when a photo or question is posted. You do not have to give the precise location, something like "Northern Idaho, June 2023" or even "North-Western US, June 2023" suffices.

Is it okay?
Yes, OP said it flew away :)
Yay!
You can buy stickers to go on windows that are visible to birds but not as visible to humans to prevent this. Sadly many birds that hit windows aren't as luck as OP's bird.
The stickers are much cheaper online than they are from a specialty bird store. Curtains or blinds are also effective, of course.
+1 The stickers are not fool (bird?) proof, but they do help a lot.
