Faces of Death - Front Yard - April Images

I forgot to publish these and ran across the photos today - these are from April 16. The first is a small bird on the front stoop - the head has been eaten and is now being enjoyed by ants. I think my cat Mucha is responsible for the head - the bird was probably still alive as he normally only goes for fresh kill.

The second fatality (same day) was found in the front yard below the carport clerestory windows.

I also just yesterday found my second snake (the first one was still alive when Mucha brought it to the door) - this one was dessicated with the head eaten. Also a still fresh chipmunk was under one of the chairs. Seems he doesn't really like the taste of rodents (as mentioned before) but foul is very tasty.
