A badly injured bird may be lying in a dirty ditch somewhere in Des Moines, Iowa — thanks to "West Wing" star Rob Lowe.
The Des Moines Register says Lowe, who was in town Wednesday to play in the Principal Charity Classic Pro-Am celeb golf tourney, hit an approach shot on the fourth hole when his ball dropped right out of the sky 50 yards shy of the green — after it slammed into a goldfinch.
It was an ominous event. The goldfinch is Iowa's state bird.

"That's my birdie," Lowe, said, staring at the bird, which lay motionless on the ground.
