This morning I found a juvenile Hermit Thrush lying dead on the front patio. 🥺

The house windows that birds have most often hit by accident, I leave screens on all year round now, which seemed to help a lot. But we also have several crank-out windows; the screen placement for those is on the inside, which does nothing to dull their reflectivity.

Most often, birds aren't flying too fast around those windows, and if they hit them, they're only stunned for a bit. But not this young one.
