Every afternoon I take a short walk across campus to get away from my desk, un-crook my back from the I've-been-in-a-chair-all-day position, find some caffeine (usually a Frappuccino), and call home to see how my wife is doing with our 1-year-old. Yesterday's walk was not the norm.

A sparrow landed right in front of me as I was walking, and it held in its mouth a live, buzzing, bumblebee. The bird proceeded to drop the bee on the ground and then peck it to death. Cool. It was like the Discovery channel live! Unfortunately, I did not have my camera with me, so I've created this drawing for your benefit:
