My friend Marty Wright had a platform feeder outside and adjacent to his
kitchen window. A House Sparrow was feeding on it when a Gray Squirrel
hopped up onto the feeder. This caused the bird to flush off of the feeder
and smack into the window. The bird toppled back onto the feeder where the
squirrel quickly snatched it up in its mouth and dashed off with it.
