What the ...?

Ran into this beauty on my lawn recently.  I always joke with my DH that our lawn seems to have a magnet for all the neighborhood detritus (word for today, look it up!).  Stray bits of paper, wrappers, receipts seem to waft in the breeze and end up on our lawn - and no one else's!  Anyway, I opened my front door to the mailman and saw this huge big bird hanging out on the lawn.  Grabbed the camera and did some major zooming on my new Kodak camera and realized he was eating something.  I didn't get close enough to see what.  Anyway, at least he was a good guest!  I walked down later and realized not a speck of his food was left.  We should all have dinner guests like that!

BTW, Happy Columbus Day everyone!  I have a love-hate relationship with Christopher Columbus - having been born on an island that he "discovered". How do you discover something that already existed? I want to know. But that's for another conversation.
