Title: Raining Swainson's!
Post by: Rob'in'To on September 11, 2012, 12:57:53 PM
Most peculiar moment yesterday as a Swainson's Thrush seemingly fell from the sky (or trees above) and dropped dead on my shed roof.  That is what it appears to me but who knows what happened.  A loud noise right above me and the bird was dead outside.  I know it wasn't there earlier during my activities out back.  May have struck the skylight but with all the green canopy over the shed...  just doesn't make sense.
