Hi Tweeties,

While waiting my turn at a carwash in Pasco last weekend I was quite thrilled to spy a MERLIN making short shrift out of a pigeon in the bare gravel lot next to the car wash! The busy bird had pigeon feathers flying all over the place as it methodically plucked its way down to the meat.

Unfortunatly just as it got to the meat, a man walked across the lot. The merlin tried to fly off with its lunch, but dropped the pigeon carcass as it lit on a light pole. The bird was still waiting on the pole after the car made its way through the car wash. A dog was nibbling on the bird's lunch!
