Lunch time show

A hawk killed a squirrel outside our office window this weekend. My coworker watched a titmouse pick bits of frozen meat off the carcass. Today the titmouse was chased off by a bluejay, who gorged on bits of icy rodent. Just now I watched another squirrel observe the jay for a few minutes before chasing the bird away from his friend's cold body. Then he tucked in and started eating.

Just as I finished writing that, Sarah Ferenstein, the red-tailed hawk featured in several recent photos, landed at the site and flew away with the cannibalized corpse. Then the titmice returned to pick at the bloody snow.

I had no idea that cute little titmice could be so cannibalistic.
It's a crazy world out there
