The natural world revealed. A raptor gained the strength to continue on. Thanks for sharing.

Warning gruesome bird pic
I followed a raptor attack print in the snow > 100 yards, down a fairly steep slope, this was >¼ mile from Cascade reservoir in the hilly forest mind you. I Started seeing feathers and tiny specs of blood. See pics for my find. Cheers Rich Rusnak
Re: Wigeon Hybrid
I didn’t know that there was a possibility of hanky-panky between Wigeons and Teal! I agree the head looks like a Teal, but I just assumed it was an American/Eurasian hybrid like the picture in Sibley. And great photos.
Also, you found some birds there that I apparently just blew by.

Re: Any News on the Common Crane for 11/21?
Two friends and I from Idaho Falls drove all around and looked for hours with no luck. We birded and talked with nine other birders who also had no luck.
Brad Hammond, previously of Idaho Falls and now from Wilder, found four immature Snow Geese and a flock of Snow Buntings for us.
