Predator kill


These are some of the sweet animals that have graced our lives, only to fall prey to some nasty unwanted unwelcome invasive predatory species; cat, hawk, skunk, raccoon, or fox.
Rest in peace, sweet guys...
Thanks for the cuddles, the laughs, the knowledge and the conversation.
Carmen, she of black sleekness and a way of roosting anywhere. Mauled and left nearly uneaten by feral cat.

Pheasants, raised to young adulthood, slaughtered in one night by skunk. Only their heads were eaten.


Quail, raised to adulthood, slaughtered one by one by skunk, coon, and cats.


Little Peep, sweetest and smartest in the world, swept up by a hawk as a young hen.





Victoria, original wife of Albert, for whom the English cottage was built. Actually appeared in local newspapers and high school yearbook. Famous for pooping on overhead projector during class.

Rest in peace little guys. And Carmen was disappeared, little peep was killed by a cat (just her leg left). And don't forget Victoria, and Spangle, and Gregory Peck, and Leon, and the sweet broody cochin.
