I haven't heard of any coyote sightings lately. Anyone have an idea of what might have done this.?
At least it was a rabbit head. With lots of Villagers leaving their little dogs go outside by themself, it very easily could have the head of a puppy. Now, that would be very gruesome.

Had a hawk in my backyard months ago eating a bird. Dog and I watched him eat it from bedroom window. He wasn't the biggest bird but we let him finish then I cleaned the feathers.

Probably a hawk got your rabbit, was munching and something startled it.

My neighbor and I found a headless rabbit. I know it wasn't the body that belonged to the head you found because we found it two years ago. I remember doing some research then and what I found said that owls would rip the head off, eat the contents and come back for the body. He must have forgotten where he left it.

Now Rap. Remember yesterday when you tried to be funny and we both got in bad.

I saw a Great Blue Heron rip the head off of a rat. It gulped down the body but left the head.

Not a pretty thought. Must have been a much bigger bird to just leave a rabbit's head. I wonder if Alex Forrest is in town? Alex Forrest (Character)
