Sad but true. Nature isn't always the gentle, peaceful force as some people like to hold up as the source of goodness.
Yes, you're right, Christine! Everyone needs to eat, including the raptors in my yard.
Such a poignant scene, but a reality in mother nature. Well captured.
Thanks, Suzy!
Maybe sad but it's the food cycle of earth which is also important for everyone. 👍
Yes, the predators need to eat too. :)
I'm listening to The Bird Way right now. Have you read it? Fascinating!
No, I haven't heard of it. Thanks for the suggestion!
It's sooo good. I'll likely forget much of it but I am loving it in the moments. It's a lot of information!
