Out of the Blue

Wow! I was sitting here at my desk minding my own business when I saw a glimpse of wings through the patio door immediately followed by the distinctive thud of a bird hitting a sliding door upstairs from me. I ran up to see if we had an injury to deal with, and I got to see a glimpse of a hawk flying off with something clutched in its talons. I'm guessing it picked off a squirrel off the deck railing but couldn't put on the brakes hard enough to avoid hitting the glass. There's an interesting souvenir of this, as it left a distinctive smudge. A close look reveals feather patterns that look like a fingerprint. Time for a call to CSI: Raptor.

Rapturous Round-up
Thanks Ant, Neutronbeam, and Max.
