maddmaxx ★ Posted March 21, 2019 Share #1 Posted March 21, 2019 There was some question about the nature of the last predator picture from my backyard, but not this one. He's a bit blurry but it's only a trailcam folks. These guys show up for dinner too. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
donkpow Posted March 21, 2019 Share #2 Posted March 21, 2019 For a few years, I collected the trimmings from the orchard and piled them in the garden. With a row of juniper bushes across the back of the yard, our yard became a killing field for the hawks and cats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The leftovers from the nightly feed of the larger animals also attract smaller critters and birds in the daylight hours. We've seen more hawks and owls this year than ever before. I guess it's our fault for baiting the trap. I often see hawks at work when I take hikes in the woods around here. It's quite amazing to watch a hawk stoop in a wooded area. You'd think they had radar or something like what a bat has while they are diving through the trees to hit something on the ground. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

team scooter Posted March 21, 2019 Share #6 Posted March 21, 2019 A few weekends ago our granddaughter got super angry that our dog Maggie was chasing away the birds in our yard. Our son was explaining about nature and the whole predator/prey thing when a Harrier Hawk swopped in caught and started dinning on one of the Sparrows. It didn't even wait till it was dead. I said, maybe Maggie was trying to warn them. Poor girl probably needs counselling now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Razors Edge ★ Posted March 21, 2019 Share #9 Posted March 21, 2019 Riding yesterday about 15'-20' back from another cyclist and a hawk of some sort came sweeping past from the left side and probably missed the guy by less than 10'. Another "wish I had a GoPro" moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
