Yesterday was a very bad day for a small bird at our office complex. A very, very bad day. And quite a sad one for anyone with half a heart. Seems this little fellow collided, somehow, with our third floor. The facilities guy, while sympathetic, was content to live with the ID as "bird, small." I felt compelled to at least memorialize the poor creature with its proper name. A tough ID, but as best I can discern this appears to be a Yellow Bellied Flycatcher. And it is only a migrant in these parts: on its way south. Heaven knows why the bird flew into our building: was it ill? disoriented? All we know for sure is that it won't be wintering in the tropics. Let's hope this rare collision isn't repeated. RIP, little friend.
