Window pain

On January 11 I posted a photo of this female Rufous Hummingbird with a broken bill, probably caused by a collision with a window screen.

Photo taken in bad light late in day

Today I saw the bird again and it seems the bill is healing (per Kelly Bryan).


This poor Vermillion Flycatcher wasn't so lucky. I found him at the base of the patio storm door yesterday. I remember about a week or so ago I heard a thud against the door's window, but when I checked I didn't see a bird. I'm sure this is the unlucky victim. Sad! That's the first casualty I've had from that door. Hopefully, the last. (I had moved him out onto the yard before I thought to take a photo.)
