Coolest find but also sad - a dead Anna's hummingbird. The flashy male and in immaculate condition. In the middle of the bike lane like it had been hit by a car, but not one feather was out of place. I picked it up and held it to the light and saw the gorgeous colors for the first time. (I've been feeding them for years, but out the window I only see them backlight. It's even tough to tell the females from the males from inside.) The other amazing characteristic - they don't weigh anything! I've read 3 grams, one penny, After holding that little guy, I believe it.
