Respect.
I found a dead hummingbird underneath the edge of a wire mesh cover I put over some seedlings. Looks like it was trying to get to the seedlings or the wet dirt and then got enmeshed and couldn't escape.
I was trying to protect the seedlings, not design a trap !
I put the bird's body in the front pocket of my hill-walking/ mountain climbing parka.
Will bury it somewhere respectful.
A bit of a paradox, I feel respect for the dead bird yet it was my man-made contraption that killed it.
