Crappy feather

On my way back from running today, something caught my eye. It was a white and gray feather on the ground, in a sparsely grassy area.

Upon a closer look, I noticed that there were 3 or 4 pieces of, um.. cat feces on and around the feather.

I can only assume that the neighborhood cat bully beat up a bird, took one of its feathers, and pooped on it as a warning to all other birds not to mess with him or her.
