Mouse burgers anyone?

When we were at our small group after church today, a perigrine falcon flew up and landed on the railing just outside the window from the table we were eating lunch at. It then proceeded to pull out half of the fur on the dead mouse it was carrying around with it.

It was really cool. I'd never seen a peregrine that close up before. It was less than 5 feet from us and I guess it was only because it was really dark inside the house that it didn't see us and fly away right away.

Nifty stuff, that nature.
