   Pigeon dust on a window.

   An ex-pigeon.
   One that has gone to meet the choir invisible.
   Poor thing.

   Bingo Vanita! Right out of the chute comes the answer…

   Notice the downswept wings, chest, breast plate (heart), head and beak….

   Glass skywalks between buildings, like this one, must catch a lot of these.

   The 2003 Ig Nobel Prize in Biology was awarded to a man who turned a problem (glass-walled building attracting birds) into an opportunity (necrophilic voyeurism).

   My guess is in notes!

   So many birds crash in skyscraper windows!

   Vanita, you mean like shroud… so we could also say glass of Turin. 😉

   That is quite true that it is like the shroud since all we get is the impression. One thing I am wondering, why is the window left uncleaned for so long that only the dust remains.
