Pretty Bird

As we are walking on the beach...I found this beautiful tragedy.
I felt sad for it. I cannot fathom its demise. Raccoons? Foxes?
What would leave a bird without head, neck or legs?
Why has the torso been left behind? It could be an egret from the large size of it.
As I'm wondering all of this in despair, a friend of mine walks up and casually says "Pretty Bird".

And I remembered...It's good to have a sense of humor.
