Maya's predatory instincts have been working overtime lately. As the weather cools, it's time for the fall migration of songbirds, and unfortunately for them, they land in the wolf enclosures to feed on seeds from the lush vegetation in the enclosure. Most birds feed for a while, then fly out of the enclosure, but Maya has been tuned into their presence and has successfully stalked and killed a few birds in the last week. After Sunday night's feeding, this stalking behavior will likely diminish. Four beavers were fed yesterday, and with the cooler weather, the wolves have been eating well. It appears that Maya has consumed a large quantity of the beaver, and her movements are quite slow today. That'll be good for the migrating songbirds.
