Not a pretty scene and I know some might quickly click past this but it is an example of the so-called circle of life. Certainly the death of the deer is sad but in the end, its loss serves a purpose.

Coyotes had had their fill from the carcass earlier and once they were done, the magpies came in for a bite to eat. Kind of gross, kind of cool but that is life in the wild.
