Murder In The Grass - I suspect FOWL play

Dear Diary

I should first explain that we have a large yard with many trees and bushes. We also have several bird houses including a Purple Martin condo and wren boxes. My female human has put out a number of feeders for our feathered friends and that attracts a wide assortment of birds as well as squirrels and chipmunks. It’s a paradise for someone like myself who is a true hunter at heart.

Regardless, I enjoy chasing birds from the morning feast of sunflower seeds and running them off in the middle of their suet lunches. On a rare occasion, I came close to capturing one, but alas, it escaped.

The poor creature had obviously fell victim to some dastardly and dreadful act of homicide. I could tell from inspecting the crime scene. (I don’t watch all those reruns of CSI for nothing). The victim had not been moved but lay where the killer had struck him down. The violence suggested a premeditated act; the killer was obviously bent on doing harm to this bird!

Who? I asked myself could be responsible for such an act? The yard is fenced and no other canines other then my invited friends are allowed inside. Obviously, that criminal the cat immediately came to mind, after all he is already a suspect in one crime this week! It is possible that another member of his species had scaled the fence and committed the act then ran before being able to move the victim or more pointedly consume him.

Tomorrow after a restful nights sleep I will pick up the trail and pursue the killer using every skill at my disposal. Meanwhile I have set my internal clock to awaken me at three a.m. so I can continue my search for the missing kibble.

I’m not sure but I think I saw that cat smiling at me earlier in the day. He thinks he’s gotten away with something…. just wait nice kitty… what a nice kitty…. GR RR  RR OWL! I am so on to what you’ve been doing.  

More tomorrow dear diary, Sweet dreams!
