EWWWWWW. Some animal killed a beautiful bird and left it in my driveway (definite teeth marks). I only have one neighbor with an outdoor cat, but it could have been any of the other wildlife around here. I don't know what kind of bird it was (I hardly know anything about birds), but it was black with a wide rust/orange colored band around it's chest with a thin white stripe on each side of the rust/orange band. Poor bird.

Message: Yuck. We've been watching a foxes den for the past few weeks. There are 2 parents and what we thought was 3 kits is actually 5! A bunch of us has been hanging out there because they're fascinating to watch, but their den is on a very busy road and we're freaked out that one of the parents will be hit by a car. The babies are about 4 weeks old and aren't straying beyond the front of the den yet, but when they do it's going to be scary.
One day I had my binoculars on them and saw the mom pick up a very dead animal of sorts, either a grey bird or a squirrel. Yesterday they had the remains of a skunk!!! Ewwww!
Oh I hate to see that. My pets are indoor so they don't bother others and nobody bothers them. I am not minimizing it but it could be worse. My daughter lives in Texas and emailed me one day that she found 1/2 Siamese cat in her front yard. Of course I thought ''What the?'' I called to get clarification. It was true. Apparently they have Coyotes there. She took a picture( just the face) in case anyone was looking for one.
Weeks later she was at the park and struck up a conversation with a woman. The subject of pets came up and turned out the person mentioned losing her cat on the same date. She didn't want to see the picture, the description was enough.
Tell me more about the size of the poor bird. Sparrow, Bluejay? I love researching a puzzle.
