This is an interesting story written in the snow. A raptor strike leaves a characteristic signature. The wings sweep a distinctive pattern in the soft snow and the talons imprints are buried much deeper. When this mark is on top of a well used mouse trail in a corn field, one wonders who might have won the close encounter. Did Mickey live to eat another kernel? Did the raptor find a morsel meal? No one knows. There was no blood trail and "CSI: The Corn Field" wasn't much interested. I was the only one around.

Honey bees buzzed around me while I painted. Maybe she was looking for corn pollen or maybe she hadn't seen snow before...
The raptor was stalking the mouse in the midst of corn stalks. English can be an odd language.
