CSI

On Sunday, we noticed there were some interesting tracks in the field next to the house. Dave decided to take a walk over to investigate. There were plenty of deer and coyote prints, but in addition to those, he found these:







Looks like a large bird (owl? hawk? any guesses?) swooped down into the snow to grab a meal. There were a few feathers at the scene. We're not sure if they came from the hunter or the hunted.





There were no other clues (tufts of fur, feathers, blood or anything). I think these are really interesting pictures and show us that so much goes on that we don't even notice!

  1. Interesting pictures! Could you measure the wingspan to get an idea of the size of the bird.
