A good friend sent me a photo to my phone in the morning. I opened it up on my cheap tracfone. I could see oak trees in the photo and a log lying on the ground. She lives in Savage and has property on the Gunflint Trail. With the oak trees I figured the photo was from Savage. But I really couldn't see why she sent the photo. I asked and she sent me another photo but I still couldn't make it out. I waited until I got home and put on my magnifying glasses but I still couldn't make it out. She sent a third photo with an explanation that a cooper's hawk was the predator and she was trying to read the number on the tag on the prey's leg. Looking again I could make out the third photo was a dismembered bird leg with a silver band on the leg. Her fourth text was that the dead bird was a racing pigeon from a Lakeville pigeon racing flock. How cool is that? She saw a cooper's hawk kill and consume a racing pigeon. She documented this circle of life event on her phone. Best of all she shared it with me!
