Poor birdie

So this morning Mr. Red makes the comment "is that feathers on the window?"

Let me explain - we have two huge windows in the front room. The north facing one is 10' wide by 5' high, with another east facing window that's 6' wide that meet in the corner.

Growing up we had a window that was on the 2nd floor and about the same height. Every now and then while watching TV we'd hear the thump of a bird flying into the window. Sometimes it would just bounce off and other times gravity would intervene.

So to my question to Mr. Red. Very likely.

Later that day we were heading out and I saw what I latter confirmed was a poor birdie, feet up in the yard. Gravity got him.

When I was in high school we lived across the street from a pond with ducks. They didn't die from splatting on our front windows, but definitely left big marks behind. I'm impressed none of them cracked the windows.
