The Robin

Sadly, she didn't make it. 

Matt texted the wildlife rehab yesterday. She had a spinal injury and they had to euthanize her. Seems like maybe she did hit a window. It might not have been ours (she was propelling herself pretty well along the ground at one point so it's possible she could have come from our neighbor's yard)...but still, I think I'll be looking into some anti-collision devices.

This is the second bird vs window this year. The first bird I found dead in the backyard, near the library window. (Granted, this is the first year since we've been in the house that I've found evidence of birds hitting our windows, so hopefully it doesn't and won't happen often.) 

A to Z, A Fanfic Meme

I'm jumping on the bandwagon, because I was actually curious. 

Rules: How many letters of the alphabet have you used for [starting] a fic title? One fic per line, 'A' and 'The' do not count for 'a' and 't'. Post your score out of 26 at the end, along with your total fic count.

My score is 23. (I was surprised I had a "Q".) My total fic count (on AO3) is 200. I have some old ones on Fanfiction.net. I didn't include those here (if I did, I think I would have gotten the "U" for Umbrageous, which was a very old HP fic.)
