I reported in my last post (among other things) that we'd had a bird strike our tinted window in back. Well, he didn't learn the first time. Wife heard another crash and again claimed that something must have fallen or that someone had set off a bomb outside. Later that night I look out the kitchen window and ...
... dusty birdy imprint on the window. Now we know why we saw feathers outside the window in the grass. We thought maybe the hawk or the owl had dined near the house. Now it looks like it's just feathers jettisoned in the crash.
And today ... bird boom again. Couldn't get a picture of that tonight, but you've probably got the image in mind now anyway.
Related topic: we've had a couple hawks floating around the house -- a mating pair maybe? I love 'em even if it means we don't have a lot of squirrels to watch.
And did you know that woodpeckers eat seeds? I thought they just ate bugs out of the bark. But, no. We've got a red-headed woodpecker (I think) that has become partial to the seed in the bird feeder we hung on a branch of a near-by pine quite close to the trunk. We laughed and laughed at him hanging on to the tree and leaning over backwards to the point of having his head upside-down in order to pluck food from the feeder. Where there's a will there's a way.
