Title: Sunday at Humber Bay Park and a gross mess!
Post by: Bird Brain on November 23, 2008, 11:45:51 PM

Hi everyone.  Spent this afternoon at Humber Bay Park - excellent birding plus saw a Mink!  

Saw a rather gross mess - area with a lot of bones and clumps of feathers all over the place plus something that looked like upright empty bird legs!   :shock:   Cripes!  Anyhow, appeared that it used to be a Canada Goose.  

Would have made for an interesting but morbid photo.  

Would this have been due to a coyote attack?

Coyote, fox, weasel, raccoon...there's a tonne of preds here in the City that could do that.  Could also be that the bird died of natural causes and then was predated on post mortem.
