In case you can't tell what it is, it's a pile of feathers that looks as though the bird was plucked before being completely devoured except for a couple of wormy looking red pieces of innards that looked like earth worms ... blech ...Also, look closely at the next picture. See the yellow things?
Okay, they are kind of hard to see, and they seem to be more orange-red. Those are the pieces of the beak. Poor little bird.
I don't think this happened in Snow White. Sure, a queen sends a man to kill her step-daughter (Snow White) in the woods with a knife. Of course, he has mercy on her, lets her go, is killed by the queen when she finds out he didn't kill Snow White. Then the queen goes and poisons Snow White herself.
But, no birds were being ripped apart. I mean sheesh! We all have limits to the violence we can handle!
And, to think this episode of violence went down in our back yard, our very own gazebo-thingamabob. I wonder if any of our other bird friends saw what happened and are afraid to come into our yard.
I should go sing a song to them ... (I really need to get myself a princess dress)

that is crazy! As soon as I saw the orange I knew it was the beak....What a shame. Wonder what would have done that in broad daylight? Unless it happened last night. You better lure the animals back to your yard. You have any bird seed? carrots? lettuce?
Jadah is the one who first noticed it :) Crazy huh? I don't know when it happened. I'm thinking last night. Dan was outside yesterday with the kids and no one noticed it. Of course, they were mostly in the front shooting hoops. Who knows. We do have a few cats who roam around. I'm assuming it was one of them.
