I found it in the backyard lying on its back.
I ran for my sketchbook because this subject was the perfect model, he wasn't going to move. I once saw Cathy Johnson include a sketch of something dead in her book and decided this was one of those great opportunities for a nature sketch.
The bird looks young and I am thinking it may be in the Thrush family with it's coloring and long pointy beak. I could not see any evidence of obvious injury and am not sure what killed it.
