The Kill

The Kill, by Mary Stebbins. This picture was taken out past the Marble Lighthouse at Bellle Isle in Detroit. A large predatory bird (hawk or owl) appears to have captured a small songbird (such as a sparrow). You can see, int his photo, the wing prints of both the large and small bird, the tail print of the large bird, and what is apparently the plowing mark made by one of the feet. Click on the picture to see larger.

I also just saw a Merlin (Pigeon Hawk) eat a pigeon in our back yard.
