So sad



A pigeon met its end in the garden overnight, perhaps a hawk or a buzzard needed a meal.

Still sad to see though.

A good choice. Nature sure can be harsh. V

The give and take of nature.

Very sad to find this in your garden. If it was a hawk, at least it would have been a quick death.

Oh my! I'm so glad that you didn't witness it (I did once and once was enough!). Why can't we all be vegetarian? Though I have to admit that I do like my occasional steak... :(

Yes, this is sad The feathers are beautiful although I'd rather they still be attached to the bird. Great take on the topic and excellent photo. V.

I have had this in my yard all winter long. I suppose I will save money on bird food because I will have less doves! :) Sad indeed!

Yes, it is sad, but it is the cycle of life isn't it? V
