A Sad Find

As stated in another post, humans aren't the only ones affected by hurricanes. Sadly, we found a baby bird that appears to be a young Mourning Dove here. We suspect the strong gusts from Hurricane Gustav claimed a young victim by blowing it out of its nest. As young as he was, the fall from the force of the gust alone would have been enough to have instantly claimed his life.

While it is an incredibly sad find, we realize that it is the way of nature.
