Farm Chores

I like farm chores.  I muck stalls, stack hay, water, etc.  LOVE grooming the horses.  But today, I found a chore I prefer NOT to have to do again. 

When heading out to visit the horses this morning, I noticed something floating in the water bucket.  It looked like a harmless branch or piece of bark from a tree.

But it wasn't.

It was a dead bird.
