Your observation reminds me of the "observation skills" we need to have with our Legislature.Nighthiker wrote:Observed a coyote kill a cottontail and eat it this morning.

Although that event is somewhat sad to see, I think your topic title "Such is Life" sums it all up. Nature can be brutal sometimes. But natural selection being what it is, the cycle will keep on going. Perhaps all one can do is consider themselves fortunate to have been a first-hand observer of it.Nighthiker wrote:Observed a coyote kill a cottontail and eat it this morning.

I think a very hungry, crazed, Mtn Lion may disagree with you......Everything is part of the food chain, and I am darn glad I am on the top of it ;]

The "rabbit" could be a "pretty good idea. The coyote is usually "leadership." They LOVE to eat in public, snacking on bills and ideas they find easily "digestible." Since the "leadership" is "lean and mean," they can catch ANYTHING and they delight in MUNCHING DOWN in FULL public view!
