It gave me an opportunity to shoot them with my little point and shoot camera. I've loved having this view. I can see 180º of the horizon, which is really fortunate! I hate being down in a hole or closed in by trees.

There was blood everywhere and chunks of flesh and rabbit fur all over the place. I'm pretty sure it was a hawk that decided to use my deck as his dining room table that morning. Thankfully, I've only had that happen once in the 9 years I've lived here, but that was one time too many for me!
