rodent carnage

[rpiretti]

Was out later on in the morning with the fam. Can definitely confirm mouse carnage. Caterpillars too.

Seeing the carnage on the way back from Purcelleville, I couldn’t help wonder if the recent clearing and cutting back of the foliage around the W&OD might have also included some sort of chemical spray that caused the moles and such to vacate the underbrush?

Perhaps it is the dastardly work of Glenn Carlyn the trail kitty.

The good news is none were big, pink and fluffy

I watched a hawk grab a mouse this afternoon on my way home, here’s the video. full screen you may be able to see it better, it was really cool to watch it happen! I’ve seen this happen a couple of times, but never caught it on video.

I’ve seen a few random dead mice on MVT and 4MR recently, enough for me to notice that there seem to be more than I remember ever seeing before. Maybe just coincidence, maybe time of year, maybe something else. Who knows? Haven’t seen a raptor fly off with one yet, though. Awesome video.

BTW are those PB Cascadia 26″ ATB fenders? They look familiar.
