The MadSnapper found
Blue Jay feathers on the ground
The hawk had dined,
The MadSnapper whined.
As the hawk flew away,
He was heard to say
Oh, was this your bird? Hawkward!

Making the best of the situation, as he flew away,
MadSnapper picked up the feathers and came in to play.

Their very beautiful, and you can really tell it's a blue jay. Love your edits!! They feature just the feathers, as a fitting tribute to our blue friend. I love your poem! It tells the whole story. Are there many hawks around there?
The edits are beautiful. I can remember collecting feathers from the yard when I was a kid.
What beautiful colours on Mr Birdie feathers

Well, this worked out well for everyone but the bluejay. Those feathers are really pretty and I like the edits that you did.
We see the hungry hawks circling in the sky here. The blue jays feathers are such a bright blue.
As Council for the hawk, this is circumstantial evidence ;)
The Blue Jays are a beautiful bird. This one will be missed.
Hoping that the bird lost the those feathers the natural way and not from another bird scaring them out of him.
cool edit! did you know that blue jay feathers are actually ALL brown & not a trace of blue? (it's the light reflection)
Great poem.
I am a little sad for the blue jay - but it is reality!

Nature's way... something for everyone, even the jay, for now, it is remembered forever in the ether... YAM xx
The pecking order in Nature is rough....but at least you found the positive
Hugs madi your bfff
PS off to the vet at 1 pm my tummy was really upset this morning. Sighs old age is not for sissies right?
Awww...too sad but it really is The Circle of Life.
Love the techniques you used on the feathers.
Hawkward...haha....Love it
Oh, that's sad but the feathers are very pretty.
Awww! Don't like it when one of "my' birds is taken.You did get some good pictures though.
Sad for the Blue Jay but Hawks have to survive too. The gift of the feathers is awesome and I love your effects, and the poem. You are a very clever and creative lady :)
When we were living in VA, I sadly saw a male cardinal meet a similar fate and all that remained were feathers. I know that everything is someone's dinner, but it was still a sad event. Bluejays can be annoying, but they are colorful birds as are cardinals. Now, starlings and grackles are a different story and I wonder why a hawk doesn't get more of them.
Your second image with the clouds is so poignant. Now thinking about that hymn, "I'll fly away ..."
I suppose there's a use for hawks, but I can't think of one. (I think I hate him very much right now.)
Gorgeous! Love all the feathery details!
Beautiful photo art!
Well, I always feel if blue jays were nicer birds I would feel worse about their demise.
Simply stunning!
