The Squirrel Cam

Sometimes, I learn much by just looking out my window on the world. Yesterday, was a learning experience in watching this road runner consume a small bird. I was watching out the window when this small sparrow was acting very sick. Over the next hour or so, the small bird passed away. It wasn’t too long after that when the road runner showed up. He removed most of the wing feathers, tail feathers and most of the downy feathers that he could remove. Then he commenced to swallow the bird head first whole. If you would like to see the series of photos I took of this, go to my flickr page.
