Almost noon and I glanced out my office window and see the chief sanitation officer cleaning up some road kill. Sun light very bright and harsh made for some interesting captures. Please try the download.

Nice series, Jim. Everybody's gotta eat, and while this is the avian version of 'fast food,' stopping by McDonald's isn't good for you. Probably not good for birds, either, as you never see them inside the restaurants.

Maybe they have more sense than we do?

Completely agree Andrea, if they didn't clean stuff like this up, who know what other problems we'd have. Thanks for the visit. Much appreciated. :-D

LOL that's putting the right tone to it Randy and yep, they may be ugly but I sure am glad they're around to take care of such things. Thanks my friend for the visit and the nice comment. :-D

Thank you Angela and I guess its only gruesome if we try to humanize it. They are certainly a necessary part of nature. Thanks for the visit and nice comment my friend. Much appreciated. :-D :thumbup:
