Harmless raptors.

Tried to get a pic but no deal. Bald headed eagles fly over daily now. Couple of older ones (white heads) 3 young, dark heads. Cannot be sure but beleive an Eagle owl is around. Couple of half eaten Cooper hawks in the field.
Have some birds with claw marks in their backs, assume it was hawks or falcons.
30 plus pigeons going out tomorrow. Friend of mine will pick them up. Reds,whites and regular colours. Free of course. Have to cut down.

3 baby Kildeer scampering around when I was cutting the lawn. They can run when born.  Mother crouches down young do the same even if a distance away, Got a pic of one. Hard to see. Oops! Pic shows 3!!

As said previously, you are well blessed with wild life.

They are hard to spot but just shows the lovely area you enjoy.

It was suggested that we introduce Eagle Owls.

The raptors lovers who have introduced several species of raptors that are killing our pigeons objected saying they were not a natural species (having themselves introduced foreign species) because they would kill the lesser raptors.

Alright for their introductions to decimate our bird species but not one that could keep the other raptors in check.

Regards.

Tonight on the front lawn.

Just making us jealous Hal.

Soon have canoes on their way.

Regards.

Found this little fellow year ago on the lawn Fed him Hamburger. Could be back in the tree again. Give livestock food, they return.
