05/25/2006: "Augury"

I was walking up the stairs to the castle and came across this pigeon that had been taken out by a cat or another predator. The image and the setting made me think of augury where folks used to think looking for patterns of things in animals innards would tell them the future. On my way back from the castle I walked down the same stairs and heard loud shreaks and giggling from below, two young teenage girls came up the stairs and warned me about the "Deed pigeon..." they didn't mention anything about the future.
