First walk this morning stumbled upon a varied thrush that I think flew into a window. Poor thing was still warm, but neck was flopping & broken. Eyes non responsive. I love these little things, but the forest is a better place than in the middle of downtown. I hope she had a good life up until this. 
Picked her little body up & disposed of it, so no animals would chomp it.
Tuesday, you were on your own plan today.
