Eating breakfast this morning I was startled by a great bang at the window a metre behind my head. Turning, I saw a dozen and a half birds, two flickers, three or four bluejays, some juncos and finches, flying en masse into the tree in the yard. I immediately thought a hawk had been near by, but none of the birds seemed worried. The two flickers swooped around and went back whence they came. I couldn't see which bird had hit the window and none was on the snow below. Whichever bird had hit seemed to have startled the lot of them. A few hours later, I saw this left behind, stuck to the window. It's not much more than a cm across, a half-inch or less. From the yellow coloration, I'd say it was a flicker that hit.
