A northern harrier catches up to a short-earred owl, knocks the small rodent (vole) she was carrying out of her grasp, and catches it’s rapidly descending prize before it meets the ground. Harrier has been known to steal a vole froma short- eared owl in mid-air. This is an example of kleptoparasitism, which is when one bird steals another’s food.

That vole can’t catch a break! 😮

    I was thinking the guy who raids the office fridge.

    Disclaimer: was a landlord for 2 months. 🙃

      … sure, you confess to one crime, but for how many years now are you raiding the office fridge every day??

        Lol, I admit nothing!

        I am too germaphobe when it comes to food. I don’t eat or drink anything even a family member has put their face in. Plus anything in an office fridge I consider to have been in there for at least 6 months! 🤢
