Scene of the slaughter

I came upon this pile of feathers on the trunk of a fallen tree this morning. Looks like a roosting pheasant was nabbed by a fox or badger and all that was left was this tell-tale heap of feathers.

Well found and captured, wonder what the feathers would tell you if they could talk.

Wow, awesome find. Sorry for the pheasant, but guess that's nature.
