all that remains of a little wood thrush i found under a bridge last summer. i put it in a dirt pot wrapped in newspaper, and the newspaper totally melted away along with most of the ribs. the incredible smallness and delicacy of bird bones is always amazing to see: the skull is only about an inch long. the leg bones are as fine as toothpicks and the wings are even daintier… i’ll post a better photo of the bones later when the peroxide’s brightened them up.
