This bird was dropped by a hawk accidentally as it was feeding up on top of a tree in my backyard. The bird was freshly killed when it escaped the grasp of the hawk. Later in the day, when I came back to my yard, the hawk had ripped opened the bird's cavity and fed off of it. The organs were gone and the neck was picked at. Even though the fate of this bird perhaps would be considered terrifying, in the end, it provided nourishment for a hawk which in turn made it possible for it to continue living.
