The environmental hazard of living in a green building lined with windows and skylights and surrounded by native flora is a little too much versimilitude for the local wildlife.

I walked into a conference room with some other people this morning, and we heard a “Thunk!” against the wall outside followed by a dark blur dropping fast outside the window.

This little guy had flown smack into one of the windows and fallen to the overhang directly below the window. A couple of minutes before it was sprawled out wings spread, but I wasn’t twisted enough to grab a camera to take a picture of a presumed dead bird. After it got over it’s head bonk and stun, it sat for a bit (when this shitty picture was taken through the window) and flew away leaving a large crap behind it.

(Who wouldn’t shit themselves if they just flew into a solid object that they had mistakenly thought would give?)

Some kind of woodpecker, maybe?
