It's very sad that it died, but I think that by posting this photo, you've honored that creature in the best possible way for it's short life.
Thanks guys, yup putty bout the outcome, breaks my heart!
A beautiful spotting, Jared. I'm sorry to hear about the outcome, but life sometimes doesn't work out for all organisms. Thank you for sharing this bird family with us.
