We have been home for nearly a week now. I have a lot to say but mostly want to show you what we found on our back porch shortly after we arrived home last monday.
The poor little sparrow had flown into one of the back windows and fell upon the porch. There was a little bit of blood around it's mouth, not fully dried, so it was obvious that the little bird had not been dead all that long. It was so heartbreaking to hold the sweet little bird that had probably been a frequent eater at our bird feeder. We buried the little bird in Birdie's garden.

Poor little guy! I'm glad you guys gave him a proper burial
I'm sorry you had to come home to day. My Mother used to pick up roadkill all the time and bring it home. One day, she brought home a squirrel, buried it and forgot about it until the next day when we discovered it had been far from dead, it dug itself out.
I love people who care for animals, especially ones that are not pets, thanks for being one of them.
Poor little thing.
Oh I so hate that when that happens, I really do! It's happened here in the past and every once in a while I'll here a bang and there will be feathers stuck on the window. Most of the time they are able to just fly away. Poor little bird, I was one who picked up every bird and tried to save it too. Every animal matters. I'm glad to hear you guys are back safely and looking forward to here how you are doing!
We have this big glass window on the front of our house, and birds were constantly flying into it. In the spring it perfectly reflects the trees and sky, and I stood there and watched one hit it once and thought how easy that would be, if I were a bird, to think I was flying into space. We hung wind chimes in front of the window and it's cut down a lot. You can buy plastic window clings shaped like hawks or owls, but then it scares them away altogether, which is no fun at all.
