this afternoon I looked out a floor to ceiling window to a small deck in my
back, and there was a Tufted Titmouse vigorously pecking a dead bird of
the same species. It continued this for many minutes, sometimes flitting
off, but returning with a vengeance.
My guess: the dead bird died from impacting a window
Hypothesis: the birds were a mated pair and the one was trying to bring the
other back to life.
Other ideas?
Photos obtained.
