I found a dead Anna's hummingbird in the bike lane. I'd been feeding a bunch of them for years but never seen them up close. And from my windows, I never get to see their colors in the sun. So I picked it up. A male. Feathers perfect. In the sun, simply gorgeous. I left it in the bushes on the side of the road to feed the scavengers. Saddened but what a sight! And yes, they do not weigh anything. The penny to nickle weight I've read. Yeah.

Edit: SpedFast and Andy K, I found my bird looking down and ahead where my eyes belonged!
