A fine spring day, scrubbing birdfeeders, admiring the plants in bloom in my yard (unfortunately, the forsythia didn't bloom - but it is full of green leaves and house sparrows!)...
This is the weeping cherry tree in the front yard. Was even more beautiful last week before half the blooms blew off.And then I noticed this.....
Massacre.
Feathers at the base of the birdfeeder pole. No guts, no bones, no beaks....
Just feathers.
Lots of them.
I think it was a junco. But I am willing to entertain opposing points of view. Any thoughts from the more expert birders out there?
I just wish I had seen the sharpie or the red-tail who had lunch courtesy of the poor bird at my feeders.
After all, hawks have to eat, too.
Deep cleansing breath.
More yard beauty...
