Crow

[Palustris]

Well someone has to eat and if you look closely at what it has, it appears to be the remains of a goldfinch.

From the other side.

Would this be carrion, Palustris?  The bird looks frozen, doesn't it.....wonderful pics as usual.

Crows will kill a sick bird,  but they wouldn't be able to catch a healthy one. It was probably either dead or dying.
