Ovenbird in Downtown Raleigh

[BIRDVERNON@aol.com]

On my way into work today, I found a dead Ovenbird  lying on the ground in 
front of the office. I suspect he flew into the large glass windows as birds 
occasionally do. Our office is just a few blocks from the state capitol 
building. Last year we had a very tired female Common Yellow-Throat show up 
that I carried around on my finger for a while.  Luckily, she went on her way 
later that morning.  It's amazing where birds show up sometimes.
