Death in the Afternoon

Seems my bird feeder has become a hawk feeder...not sure exactly how I feel about this.

Hmm. The circle of life. But ...

Amazing capture Joanne! A few Blue Jays and a couple smaller birds have met their demise around our feeder this winter as well. Our youngest granddaughter found the feathers of a Blue Jay and asked what happen. When we explained what happened she coined a new word. The Blue Jays were, "hawked". I am faving this so I can show her what sometimes happens in the wild!

I can understand your mixed feelings; however, this is a really cool shot :)
