No offense, Swampy—I like hawks, but I love my chickens! I’d have to admit that I’d spook him if he got too close. Got a huge hawk keeping an eye on my chicks right now. So far, they’ve been smart enough to stay up under the thick woods where he can’t fly so easily.
He’s in good company—we’ve also got a bald eagle, tons of ospreys, the huge owls,(barn owls?) foxes, coyotes, bear, alligators...
Sucks to be a chicken around here!
Ospreys are fish eaters.
