The path is crooked

Visibly clear all can see

Scratch down find true sun

[Honeygloom]

Really beautiful🖤

what's in these sausages anyway?

[Jeff Kinnard]

Prey, oblivious

Swoop, talons dig in deeply

Mother, her screams pierce

[Honeygloom]

Raptor moms are truly terrifying.😱

[Rebecca J. Gomez]

A shriek from the clouds

Streaks toward the ground in a flash

Talons pierce its prey

[Honeygloom]

Chilling picture, and you rendered it very succinctly. I really enjoyed this🖤

[A.C. Cargill, All-Human Author]

Grab and sink in deep

Watch the blood ooze from prey's wounds

Fly that meal to nest

[Honeygloom]

Aw, picturing a cute little fam. Very nice 😊

[A.C. Cargill, All-Human Author]

More than once I've seen a golden eagle swoop down, grab a snake or other critter in its talons, and soar off to the nest. (Sometimes the eagle would drop the prey on purpose to kill it, then swoop down and grab the corpse.) Nature is so inspiring!

[Daniel Baldwin]

So sharp you don’t feel

As they slide through the gristle

Feet off the ground, gone

[Honeygloom]

😅Inspiring is one word for it.

[Honeygloom]

😬 silent, and sporting knife-feet. Nature’s true nightmare.
