CSI: Brooklyn

That feeling when you go out to take photos of the first buds of Spring but then stumble upon the scene of a murder.

The Remains of the Bird. Pigeon most likely.

Most likely devoured by a hawk or falcon. These raptors have adapted rather well to the canyons of the New York Cityscape, feasting on the abundant supply of pigeons.

This wouldn’t be the first time one of them chose our backyard for their dining room. We once woke up to a Cooper’s hawk perched atop our fence just outside our bedroom window, tearing apart his pigeon breakfast.

Alright, that is as gruesome as it gets. Back to just plain pretty flowers…
