Dead bird (I assume killed by a window's glass or by a car)
On top of the pole. It's dark and not the greatest photo obviously. I heard her and then she turned and I saw her ears. I've seen pellets at the base of the pole before. A few minutes after I took this, there was flapping of wings below the pole and she took off, swooped down, and flew away. maybe hunting a hurt bird?
these ladies are everywhere today
Saw one in the water with 3 mallards nearby.
