Scrap of fur

It was a partly sunny morning at FWG, but very cold thanks to a brisk wind. I came across a group of four crows, three watching the 4th eating something. I couldn't make out what it was, but it looked like a lump of frozen animal. After watching for some time, the crow appeared to drop the lump, so I went over to have a look. I couldn't find it, but did find much fur scattered over a wide area. This clump was on an Evening Primrose plant and those dots are seeds from the plant. I came across another area not too far away, where more fur was scattered about the snow. It could be rabbit fur, although I haven't seen sign nor hair of a rabbit for a long time. Generally, their signs are fairly apparent in winter. The last time I noticed rabbit presence was when some tracks were found in the first snow on the pond, a couple of months ago.
