Predator.

Eating a feral cat

Recently dead - Perhaps I disturbed a fox, though reason for demise is not obvious.

By the next morning all three were found dead; killed by a local stray cat.

Save bird from a glass room.

Looks like a cat kill. Was left by front door. Black cat nearby. Resident (not owner of cat) says regularly finds “gifts” left by cat

Seen Greater Yellownape on a lyonia (local name ayar) tree; eating a bat, constantly disturbed by a flock of Eurasian Jays.

I saw the House Sparrow on the sidewalk by itself. I am not sure if the Roadrunner made the kill.

Not the otter, the thing in its mouth ;)

My first encounter with this genus of family Mordellidae. It was hiding inside the fold of a dead Calathea leaf in a dense thicket of Calathea, Archidona, Napo, Ecuador, about 575 meters elevation.
