If we get mice in the house in the fall, I trap them and put them out in the yard for food for birds. They are always gone the next day. Maybe it was already dead.
I have a lot of crows in the yard and for several years they nested in the rooftop of a foreclosed house next door. (House is now occupied so I probably won't have that show this year). In the summer they would soften their bounty in one of our large bird baths. I saw a large mass from across the yard floating in there and was apprehensively going towards it to see what it was going to be this time. It was the head of a bull head fish. Glad I did not see it when they were "softening" it up.
