On the way back from our pelagic trip in Westport Washington we stopped in at Dungeoness Spit and found this Merlin on a fresh SHort-billed Dowitcher kill. He ate the head, then the breast, then ripped out the intestines (seen in front) and devoured the internal organs and whatever was left. The reality of Mother Nature can be tough to watch sometimes...
