Very clean and calculated move on the predator's part as to its favorite portion. Thank you for the palate cleanser at the end. Great pics, as always.<br />PattiAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6042782379701099694.post-46971353066470808112011-11-21T04:26:39.458-08:002011-11-21T04:26:39.458-08:00Hi Ingrid.

There was no blood anywhere other than on the tip of the broken bone on the wing. It's possible, though, that the predator did get spooked after breaking off the appendages as the area was right next to a path open to visitors.Maureen Leong-Keehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16520703570778913408noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6042782379701099694.post-587541331082696882011-11-20T16:09:05.620-08:002011-11-20T16:09:05.620-08:00Like you, I often see feathers.

Do you suppose the predator was scared off by something in the middle of its meal?ingridhttp://www.thefreequark.comnoreply@blogger.com
