Crows, always the crows. They settled on the roof of the church even before the injured were dead. Even before Vince had finished taking fingers from hands. I leaned back against a house, looking at the crows, dozens of them watching and waiting for their feast. The whole town ran red, blood on the cobblestones, in the well and on the walls.

Coyote told Eagle that they should hunt together, Eagle accepts, so they begin to hunt in partnership. Still all Coyote catches is just a couple of grubs, while Eagle is far ahead with many rabbits.

of prey, the Peregrine Falcon is sexually dimorphic, meaning female ‘Duck Hawks’ may be up to 30% larger than the male! Just compare 424 grams and 910 grams; clearly there’s a big difference in size! In addition to their size, they also have hooked golden beaks and talons, used to crush spines and clutch prey.
