Looks like one of the swarmers wasn't looking, cuz I found a dead one on
the driveway near our garage door this evening.  No evident sign of
compression-related impact, but have never seen a dead bird of any
species there in 27 years.  We hear a bump on our big back windows a few
times a year, but that's all.....and these are mullioned windows, so
it's not as though we need to put up silhouettes.
