life and it's fragility.

a dove just hit the window in our kitchen.

this has happened before. the poor things usually shake it off and fly away in a few.

It was alert and its wings looked fine. I told Mrs.Java to leave it be and in a few it will shake off the shock and fly off.

well, nature took it's course.

within minutes a hawk killed it.

I feel awful, but I also understand nature.

poor little thing.

I just needed to get this out.

Hawks gotta eat too. Sorry you had to watch the darker piece of survival of the fittest.
