sessi food???????? I see the look on her face in your food photos!!!!!!! could it be a cat????? could very easily be either one, hawk or owl. aren't owls more nite hunters? tree rats are ni-nite after dark!

 Look up from that spot in the trees....usually a hawk will tear it to pieces right on the spot, whereas an owl will fly with it.

strange that just the tail is left. twilight zone me thinks.

A duck got it on our lawn at the lake and all that was left was some feathers, head, and feet.  I think it likely was an eagle.  Could have been a coyote or other predator as well.   I did find a piece of bunny fur/skin in the yard this spring after the snow melted.  Hopefully something that eats them is hanging around.

High speed squirrel has tail grabbed by fox...*POP*  Saw the neighbor dog catch a squirrel the other week, and tore it's tail off. First time I've ever seen a bigger dog catch a squirrel. That dog can run like Wile. E coyote on Acme speed pills.

something to add to the mix. sessi never catches them. but maybe she came close

I used to have two squirrels with no tails running around here, one with just a short stump, the other clean gone. Called 'em shorty and lucky.

Hey Reb- you can't be cooking specialist unless you clear it with the self appointed spokesman.

Was duck hunting with a buddy once who wanted to mount a mature greenhead in the worst way. A beautiful drake Mallard was one of the first ducks we got that day. Being a small backwater with no current, and not having a dog, we generally let our ducks float until the end of the hunt. This one floated for all of about 30 seconds before a big eagle came down and scooped him up and flew away! Was hilarious (for me, at least).
