These foggy/dewy late summer mornings show some great spider webs. This morning there were some interesting ones made by some very ambitious spiders.
Here's one 3 ft above the ground:
Here's another:
That's nothing great, BUT you have to see that it's 10' above the ground, a large-scale project.

Been sitting here for the past 10 minutes watching a Mama grey squirrel moving house. She's been scurrying past me with a decent sized baby squirrel in her mouth heading into the woods, only to come back the other way empty mouthed. She's repeated this 5 times. Wonder if she and her family got evicted???

So maybe I've got an Uber Predator, or it could just be suburbia.
We just had to dispose of a decapitated squirrel. And let me tell you, that smell.
Now, I would ordinarily just @$$ume a loose cat, since I'm on the south shore of Long Island and the biggest thing that usually roams here is possums and raccoons. But today while I was firing up the grill I met a squirrel that clearly had a broken back. It was dragging it's hindquarters and unfortunately not to shy of humans.
So, does anybody have any suggestions? Do we think it's coincidence, or is there a more significant predator at work here?
And what kind of trap should I be using?

No head is cat for sure. Coyote would have eaten the whole thing, as well as a dog...

We used to have a number of stray cats around. Now I think there's just one and I rarely see it anymore, so I kind of disregarded that idea. Looks like I need to up my surveillance game.
We were just discussing that possibility too. That's pretty likely and probably just pure coincidence that they happened around the same time. It's too bad we don't have the option around here to just shoot the poor thing. It's only going to starve to death, or buy the farm at the paws of that cat.
Thanks for the input everybody. I guess I'll have to start looking for a cat trap.

Sounds about right. The one I saw this morning has been spotted in the past, grocery shopping at the local curbs on garbage day.
Looks like it's time to do a little grocery shopping myself.
