Not sure where to post this, but I figure somebody here will know what happened.
Yesterday I was out in the driveway splitting some wood when I see something out the corner of my eye and hear a flapping noise. the dog heard it to and we both went to investigate. A little bird, maybe a sparrow?, fell from the sky near my house. When I got closer it was on the ground fluttering about. After a minute or less, it stopped moving. I noticed some red spots on its feet, berries maybe? I poked at it a little and rolled it to see that it looked like it had been stabbed (pecked?) in the chest. I watched the little guy die. I've never seen such a thing. I didn't notice a lot of other birds around.
I'll post a link to the picture just in case somebody doesn't want to see a little bird with a fatal chest wound.
I give up. I can't figure out how to post a link without a picture.
What do you all think happened here?
