Window kill? I had one take on an unusual window here and she sat with
wings open to get her bearings or balance. It was after a near-catch by a
Cooper's Hawk, but I happened to be outside and took her to a safe spot to
recover. It's possible that the collision was such that Melissa's bird took
too much damage to the chest or head.. This is a particularly active window
collision season, especially with the newcomers passing through. Never
too late to apply window tape (as sold at the Humane Society and the better
wildlife stores in Milwaukee for instance) to our uber-reflective, confusing
and deadly glass.

My sister found a dead woodpecker in her yard in Milwaukee this week.
Its wings were spread out, almost like it had been sunbathing. Never
seen a dead bird in this position before. Any particular reason for it?
Thanks for any input!

Thanks, as always,
Karen
