beak full of feathers

Posted by amy (Nanaimo, BC, Canada) on 5 October 2008 in Animal & Insect and Portfolio.

On Friday morning we got an unexpected visitor. This Merlin had taken down a Brewer's Black Bird that had been on our roof. I do also have a shot of him over the dead bird with feathers everywhere and am posting that for tomorrow... so this is a warning if you're sensitive to anything like this. It's all about the circle of life I guess. All the shots I took were through a window without flash as I didn't want to disturb the Merlin. After all was said and done, all that remained were the feathers on the deck which Dan kindly volunteered to clean up.

You can view my gallery of images and calendar for sale at: cute but stupid . I'm slowly adding more to the site and if there is something in my portfolio you would like to purchase but is not available on my site just contact me and I'll make it available.

I appreciate all visits and comments and thank you always... ;-)
