Image of a serious hunter…

Back yard bird feeder.

Jo saw him just sitting on the feeder looking around.

The tea olive blocked the image a bit.

She said he sat there quite a while…

Birds and squirrels beware.

He watches man put out corn for deer
It hunts the critters over the corn
He watches man put out seed for the birds
It hunts the critters over the seed
Man ain't doin critters many favors these days
But the man and raptor are doin just fine

If the hawk catches a few snakes, rats, squirrels, birds etc - for any reason, I am perfectly good with that.

On balance, there may be zero net impact on the critters because the hawk was going to kill and eat anyway.

When we start to see hawks that are too fat to fly, I will start to worry.

Hunting over bait !

I got 2 BIG owls running my place and there us a few red tails that stop by pretty often. Not sure what kind of owl but they seemed a bit dark brown.
Had a big solid white one last year. Ain't seen him.

Sure wish them hawks would eat some squirrels. They are about to tote me off.

Done lost a truck and the contents (no guns but a bunch of ammo) due to fire because of chewing gas lines.

And.. I'm just inside the city limits so if I can't find my pellet gun, the new Ace Hardware got a .177 Gamo spring job with scope for $99.99.
Ok.. Now I got a solid reason..
