I hope this isn't too morbid. The other day I was sitting at the desk using the computer and watching the birds at my bird feeders. Suddenly there was a loud thump and I caught a glimpse of a bird hitting the window right in front of me. I looked out the window and there he lay on the porch. I ran outside hoping he had only knocked himself out. That used to happen a lot at our house in Austin, birds would fly right into our bedroom window that was next to the pool. Most times they would only be stunned for a short while then would fly away. A few never revived. I was so hoping this little guy would wake up and fly away. He never did. It broke my heart since I am sure he was one of the birds I had been watching feed. In an instant he was dead. Below are a couple of photos I took when I thought he still may be alive. Hopefully he had a belly full of the good seeds I had in the feeders and he died full and happy and quickly.
