Put breadcrumbs out on the snow for the bluebirds. While they were feeding, crows swooped down, killed two of them and carried them off. Most of us are so insulated from the brutality of the natural world. Even spending most of my life rural, something like this is still jarring.
I once heard a game warden in the Rockies say that he'd never seen an elderly elk or pronghorn. In addition to legal hunting (with parameters set each year based on herd management numbers), bears, mountain lions and re-introduced wolves kill the aging animals before they die naturally from advanced age.
