Sad day in the yard

Today I came home to find Flo's body in the yard.  Something had killed her between the time I was home for lunch at 1:00 and after work at 5:00.  There was a pile of her feathers in the viburnum.  She must have been attacked there and then brought to the yard.  We think the murderer must have been a cat.  Flocon de neige (snowflake) was a very quite bird.  She seemed to get along with the bigger girls better than her flock mate, Screech.  Stan said that white birds seem to be targets more often.  I suppose they don't camouflage as well.  I will have to see how Screech adjusts without her.  I don't know if she will be accepted by the other birds.  If not I might return her to Stan to be with her other flock mates.
