Just before I got up this morning a heard a thud on a window. I knew immediately what it was and guessed\u00a0it was a waxwing (drunk on the fermenting berries?) that had flown into a window, part of a large flock of close to 200 birds. And no, I&#8217;m sorry but it was not just stunned, nor was it pining for the fjords. He or she&#8217;s passed on! This northern parrot is no more! It has ceased to be! It&#8217;s expired and gone to meet it&#8217;s maker! It&#8217;s a stiff! Bereft of life, it rests in peace! It&#8217;s metabolic processes are now history! It&#8217;s off the twig! It&#8217;s kicked the bucket, it&#8217;s shuffled off its mortal coil, run down the curtain and joined the bleedin&#8217; choir invisible!!
