Window Kill

Folks,

As I left my office late this afternoon,
I found this poor bird outside
the main exit.

I thought it was some kind of thrush.
Jeff suggested it was a Veery.

I bagged it and put it in the department freezer.

See what you think, and if you’d rather
I didn’t put birds in the freezer,
let me know.
