This morning I found two dead birds in my small preformed backyard pond. They look like the live bird I saw in a tree above the pond yesterday which I looked at for a while since I didn’t recognize the breed. The water level was down so could they have drown trying to get water? Other birds or animals kill them? Bird flu? Cardinals and black birds of some sort were in the yard yesterday too. Thank you.
