Circle of life-It isn't a Disney Movie

I found a dead groundhog yesterday.  I wasn't happy with where he had decided to take his final repose, so I chucked him onto the back of the tractor and took him up to the wood's edge.  I put him right where the game camera could get a good view.
I dropped him off around 1:00PM and wondered off to do other things.  Within an hour the crows found him and started dining on the tasty middles.
I guess the Turkey vultures finally got wind of what was going on because they showed up about four hours after I dropped him off.  They fought with the crows and each other over Mr Groundhog's remains.

 For a dead groundhog he sure did move around a lot with a little help of his friends.
a little to the right

a little to the left, cha-cha-cha
Finally, a fat raccoon showed up and returned him close to his starting point.
Then I guess she decided that she didn't won't him to get lonely, so she drug him off into the woods.

I am sure by now he is showing up all over the place as fertilizer.  Recycling at its best.
