An Ex-Woodpecker

So, something ate part of one of my Downy Woodpeckers. The amount that was eaten was sufficient to render the entire Woodpecker a writeoff. I don't think it was the Hawk, since the feathers weren't plucked. Hawks tend to leave a huge mess behind as though the victim had exploded. I have to suppose it was either the Raccoons, or else one of the stray Cats that I occasionally feed. On reflection, I think Raccoon, as Cats are pretty efficient at rasping all of the meat off the bones. I can't imagine how a Raccoon caught him.
