Fatal Collision

dead hummingbird

I enjoy seeing the hummingbirds in British Columbia, but I was sad to find this one dead in a pool of water, food for water striders. It was a place where you might expect to see a hummingbird - the native plant garden at the Royal BC Museum. However, the garden is next to the archives building with large windows reflecting the garden. It's not surprising that a bird would mistakenly (and fatally) fly into them.
