They should roast them at 375 for an hour and then enjoy them with a fine Chianti and Fava Beans? The NERVE of these guys!

Thank you so much, Katy luv, I appreciate it greatly. It’s diagnosed as stage 4, fatal, so it’s thoughts like yours that I try to remember on the days when the pain is just so bad I can only hope that your prayers and others I cling to when nothing seems to help. :)
Your prayers are much appreciated, indeed.
Here, we can’t raise many small livestock on the edges or outside of town due to the danger of loss due to larger predators like foxes or the like, so we have no problems with our raptors in general.
Thank you so very much. From your lips to God’s ears... ;)
May the Lord support and sustain you and yours.
We have a raptor, a small hawk, which used to roost near our bird feeder. He took and ate a mourning dove once. It’s what they do, part of the great circle of life.
Glad to hear you’re doing better. Prayers up for your continued healing.
thank you for the sweet note.
God bless you, and I’ll keep you in my prayers

In NE Mississippi a well known and prominent physician was observed and filmed trapping and killing over 200 raptors over a two year period by the Federals and wildlife officials. Since he is politically connected...crickets. In the newspapers they even left out his occupation as a physician associated with a major Mississippi hospital. Google Fred Corder.
Prayers up...dong radiation for elevating PSA a year after surgery for prostrate cancer - hope your prognosis is as good as they claim mine is...
ere they poaching his drones? Target practice? Must have had a reason.
I would never recommend killing them or violating the law, but they are nasty birds we don’t need to many of. They will swoop down and take small pets, songbirds, and whatever else they can. Then they start eating them alive.

Excellent post. That’s the way I feel.
Wouldn’t bother me if all raptors were shot.
Cruelty personified.
Why can’t they eat and behave like other birds?
And thanks for "condensing" the article for me about the "human predator" (tongue in cheek, trying not to judge his need with it).
If that photo is what I think it is, that’s a touching and amazing photo. There are always exceptions I suppose.
Good to see you back FRiend. May God be with you.

That was the least realistic photo I could find. If you want to see nature REALLY in the raw, look up “raptors eating.” But don’t be squeamish!
Thank you for sparing us/me. This is so weird, my eyes both have cataracts (but not so bad I can't read most of the phone book in good light), but I guess I saw what I wanted to see. A nurturing eagle feeding some orphan bird or mouse.
Not a chance!!! Today I see a fish standing on its tail on a fence post being devoured head first by a juvenile? or just plain ugly eagle.
I've watched the eagle cam. Fish usually bother me less than hapless birds and mammals. But when I was a young adult, I liked to go on drives, so we drove a ways up the river and stopped in LeClaire where there was activity boats, docks and fishermen. I watched in horror as a man slit a fish and ripped the skin off alive. It plagued me for days and even now. My father-in-law used to fish and told me he rapped them on the head before he cleaned (and presumably skinned them, never watched him do it). Who knows how much feeling they have?
No sir, I pass on your raptor page. I saw enough of those horrible eagles feeding their young. They do mate for life and the male helps with the eggs and does most of the food gathering while there are young in the nest. So there's good and bad in them from a human pov.
I am squeamish about that sort of thing. I guess alligators and snakes are worse.
I will spare you and other readers the only decent photo I ever took of a juvenile eagle perched on a tree branch (easier when no movement). Birds are hard to catch in flight; it takes some practice and the ability to pan, track, lock in focus and shoot. I get around focus sometimes by setting just under infinity. I think there was some other mode I never used.
