This looks like part of a dead Canada Goose; wing
feathers attached to the
bones.
We sometimes see part of a dead animal while walking in parks. We thought a Hawk
preyed on this goose. Two birders, who we met on the trail, were saying, “A Fox
or Coyote could have attacked the goose and eaten, in addition to a Hawk.” We
asked them, “Do you see Foxes or Coyotes around here?” ”Yeah, we live near this
Nature Center and sometimes spot Foxes in our yards.” "Wow, we've never seen
foxes here." On second thought, a goose may be too large for a hawk. Geese could
be prey for larger birds such as eagles and owls. As a matter of fact, we saw a
dead Turkey in a Great Horned Owl's nest a few years ago.
The
order
that
animals feed on plants
and other
animals
is called
a food chain*.
