American crow eating.... something

Not sure what this crow was eating, but it looked like it might have been a rabbit's leg. It was obviously frozen and the crow was having to hack away at it.

He could have used his light sabre but I guess he forgot he had one. V

Excellent shot Christine. Beautiful detail on it which is so hard to catch. Wonderful job. Nature is harsh, but it's the circle of life. Vote :)

Nice catch and action with perfect exposure on the blacks! These fellas a a challenge to expose. Well done, Christine! ~V

Nice shot Christine. Maybe the crow is just doing its part in cleaning up roadkill??? My wife saw a Crow pick up a big Gray Squirrel by its tail last year and get it airborne; however, the end of the tail came off and the Squirrel fell back to the ground. So could it be a small Red Squirrel that this Crow caught and perhaps stashed away??

Excellent capture (at 100mm)
