Sad event

A window kill is always a sad event. This evening, much to my surprise, the victim was a male prothonotary warbler. There are some small swampy areas near our home. For the last couple of years I’ve heard a male sing from the swampy areas and occasionally I would spot a bird. A few weeks ago I banded one; not this bird. Now I know that there were at least two males in the area. Just wish I had not found out this way.
