Pat I cannot access your photos. The websites are not'live' urls. What do I
do to get to them? I tried pasting but it did not work.

Subject: [NatureNS] Photos of dead mystery bird (red-eyed vireo?)

 

Hi everyone:

Yesterday a bird hit the window of my office. This is a fairly rate
occurance and has always been either a chickadee or a goldfinch. When I
looked out, it was still flapping around so I went outside with a box and a
towel, hoping that it wasn't hurt too badly. 

I was quite surprised to find that it was a bird I had never seen before. I
brought it around into the sun to keep it warm, but it died about 10 minutes
after I got to it. The first two pictures were taken when it was alive, the
final one after it died.

I'm not sure which type of vireo it is. My first guess, based on the
eye-stripes would be red-eyed, except that while it was looking around while
it was still alert and alive and the eye showed no red at all. The only
other species i could imagine it being is a Philadelphia vireo, but although
it seems to have the emerald green back, it does not have the yellow breast.

I'll be taking it to the museum tomorrow, along with the frozen red-tailed
hawk which has been occupying our freezer since late June.
