The bird was on the pavement of the ground level open walkway. It was directly down from the glass of the west face of the second floor enclosed walkway (#6). When I first saw the bird it was completely immobile. The bird probably struck the glass of the second floor walkway. I got very close (10 inches) to take the photos and the bird stayed immobile. I could see that it was breathing. In walkway photos the bird is in front of the trash can & near the clipboard. I let the bird be and surveyed the surrounding area for 10 minutes. Upon returning, the bird was turning its head. As I approached, it flew up into a tree. Yea!

Mostly we have the yellow-tipped tail feathers of a Cedar Waxwing. There are some primary feathers and other feathers also.
This is within the three-sided courtyard of Bldg A, Walkway #3 and an east-west walkway which enters Bldg B.
The wall in the building photos is actually an east facing wall of Bldg B. This wall partially creates a 4th side to the courtyard. In the building photos there is a clipboard near the bottom of each photo. The feathers are next to this clipboard.
Bird probably hit the above window and then was scavenged.

This is within the three-sided courtyard of Bldg A, Walkway #3 and an east-west walkway which enters Bldg B. The feathers are next to the clipboard in the building photos. The clipboard is leaning against the West face of Walkway #3. The second building photo is looking north along the West face of Walkway #3. This is about 70 ft from the NE corner of this courtyard. Bird probably hit the West face of Walkway #3 and then was scavenged.

I used the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service "The Feather Atlas" to compare these feathers. There are primary feathers, body feathers & a tail feather of Cedar Waxwing. The length and coloration (whitish trailing edge) of primaries fit Cedar Waxwing. There is also a yellow-tipped tail feather in the photos.
In the building photo the feathers are next to the ruler (near the clipboard) in the bottom right. On the right-hand side of the photo is the East face of Walkway #4. In the left side of the photo Walkway #4 merges with Bldg A. (This is within the three-sided courtyard of Bldg A, Walkway #3 and an east-west walkway which enters Bldg B.)
The bird probably hit glass on the East face of Walkway #4 and then was scavenged.
