================
I thought of you and our discussion of ravens today.  Sometime this
afternoon, there was a moderate size road kill in the road in front of
our house.  Might have been a decent sized rabbit.  Later on in the
afternoon, Gail spotted a very big black bird -- bigger than any crow
we have seen.  He was picking at the carcus, but it had moved to the
sidewalk and was out of the road.  I figure that was one of your smart
ravens:-}}

When I went across the street to our mail box about 10 pm, I observed
that all that was left of the critter was a blood stain and a little
string of guts.

Just now, at midnight, Gail saw some other furry animal working on the
spot -- I caught a brief glance and think it might have been a coyote.
It had bushy tail, bigger than any possum I have seen, but walked away
hunched over -- not typical coyote gait.

What would have been doing clean up duty in your neck of the woods?
