As a bird lover, this is kind of sad. It's a Downy Woodpecker baby that fell out of the nest made inside a building. My brother found it on the floor when they ripped out the interior walls to remodel the building.

First two shot on white milk Plexiglass, then inverted. The second two shot on black Plexiglass.

Thanks for looking Lonnie. Kind of gross, but more sad for me, as we have a park near here where they will come down to land in your hand for a peanut. Very tame and friendly birds, so it's always a downer to see a young one who didn't make it.

Awesome shot Mitch, I really like the inverted shots, not so sad, more abstract. The last two are indeed sad and quite realistic.

Thanks for looking Kevin. I learned a lot from looking at the pictures, as the real thing is too fragile to handle. Never really knew what a bird skeleton looked like before.
