Sometimes Nature can be so cruel

On top of the buckets of rain we've had this year, the wind seems more intense than in years past. A few months ago, I took down a couple of my windchimes because I couldn't sleep.

Yesterday, the winds paid us a visit again. When I was coming home from work last night, an entire nest was on the ground on its side. Hopefully the birds made it out before the nest took a nosedive to the ground. Then this AM, I was walking along side our building (affectionately called the wind tunnel), and there was a baby bird that was splat on the concrete. It was a fairly large baby bird....really brought up a dark cloud over my morning.
