Saw a crow eating a pigeon (the Quotidian)

the image above is from my google result.

I just saw a bit of nature today. While driving, I saw a crow scavenging something and as I got closer I saw it was a dead pigeon it was trying to carry off. When I got home I googled the phrase, “crow eating…” and was suggested “… pigeon” before I could type it in. So it is a common thing, or common enough. I wasn’t surprised, but I don’t think I have ever seen it. I’ve seen vultures tearing apart a cow carcass in Texas canoeing down a river—in nature. This falls under the occurrences like seeing an eagle fly low over some cars on the freeway that had a wing span equal to the width on the compact sedan in front of me or a young deer walking through the parking lot of a grocery store in LA even though Griffith Park was only about two miles away—not surprising just something one does not see everyday.
