Squirrel has a bad day...

Squirrel gets run over and then is eaten by a vulture
I photographed this Turkey Vulture on the 7th Concession of King Township, just north of the Happy Valley Nature Reserve last week.   It had been feeding on the carcass of a squirrel that had been run over by a motor vehicle.   I couldn't help but think how sad and ignominious for a furry little creature to get a double-whammy like this.  Some days it just doesn't pay to get out of bed.
