It’s a jungle out there;)
Visiting in suburban Maryland I learned there are coyotes, foxes, bald eagles, large & small hawks, raccoons, skunks, ground-hogs and the worst predators of all: DemocRATS!!!
Owls have taken our cats at night;by the time one awakens and goes outside the owl is flying away with the poor cat likely already dead from a beak strike to the brain.
Interestingly,these attacks only happened after the overhead electric wires were removed;I wonder if owls and hawks are more prevalent in places with underground utilities?
