Just an old barn 40X80... Think about building another one for storage...

That's a Ruffed Grouse.I have had that happen a couple times in the fall;the Berries/grapes are fermenting and produce alcohol.I had two fly through my garage door windows over the years.

Twas working at home years ago. I was sitting in the study in front of a 6x8 window with my feet up on the desk while talking on the phone. I had cleared a trail with the rotary cutter through the woods and the trail was "aimed" at the window by dumb luck. As I was talking on the phone, a hawk swooped down into the trail, flew down to ground level, popped up a few feet and was flying right at the window and me! I said an adult word or two because I thought that hawk was going to fly right into the window! :shocked:

At the last second, the hawk adjusted its wings and it swooped up and over the house. I had to change my underwear. :laughing::laughing::laughing:

Unfortunately, birds hit the windows from time to time. Most just bounce off but we have had a few that have died.

Later,
Dan

I had my doubts until I looked again; those are not the feet of a raptor. We don't have grouse here, at least that I am aware of, but I'm told they are finger lickin' good! Too bad you didn't identify the victim earlier, he could have ended up in the skillet!

Certainly not bird of prey, look at the feet and beak. Even small hawks like Kestrel and Sharp Shins have talons for hunting that you cant miss.

Another lesson concerning "Flying Under the Influence".

Just an old barn to you is a dream barn to me. I have an old shed on my property and that's all. I'll get there but progress is slow

Got a good chuckle out of that.
