Juvenile, perhaps in dispersal phase. I heard it collide with the window at 10:05 and went to find it already dead on the ground nearby. This is the downstairs bedroom window that doesn’t have anti-collision protection yet, but will have it soon. Day overcast, collision occurred a few minutes after the start of some light rain, which later intensified. Window reflects Cecropia trees some 15 metres away, and Ficus lyrata closer

Buzzing with hummingbirds, butterflies and bees. Tree may have been originally planted. Difficult to know now. Flowers paler pink than the typical Ceiba in Foz do Iguaçu, and leaves more developed at this season.

Dead under window, had clearly been there a few days as corpse already well decomposed. Most likely a window collision (bedroom window without bird savers) that fell behind a plank and went unnoticed

With Andrew Balmford. We used his bat detector attachment on mobile, which claimed various species. Can't rely too much on that, but Myotis riparius was among the most consistently reported, which I believed referred to vocalisations of this bat. I can't explain the apparent orange head, which was not visible to us at the time. It appeared to be a small-medium bat flying mostly on a level flight path near Cecropia trees, with a paler belly. Small river about 50 m away.
