Well, good luck to him, or the birds, depends on who you're rooting for :~) I've seen a hawk sweep little birds off our feeder twice.
Our kittens have a mouse they've been tossing about the yard. It's a hard world, for the little things.
True, it's the age old mystery of predator and prey...
Well, the local starling and sparrow population could be thinned a bit. We'd appreciate ol Buteo leaving the doves, cardinals and downy woodpeckers alone.
We've had a couple birds picked off the feeder in the front yard but none in the back so far as we can ascertain.
