Hi Tweeters,



Today in the Kenmore Elem. School Arboretum I found a GCKI stuck in the crotch of a twiggy bush http://www.flickr.com/photos/88699795 at N03/

It was not impale. It appears to have just dropped dead and landed there. Most likely it had been there at least overnight because although it was not raining at the moment the bird was soaking wet. (I didn't have my camera with be at the time so it was a couple of hours later that I snapped these pictures, it had dried out somewhat by that time.) There is no obvious wounds on the bird.

In October I found another seemingly unharmed but dead GCKI on the trail very close to this same spot.



Anyone have a suggestion to what is happening to my neighborhood Golden Crowns?
