What will they do if a tom charges them? Something just obliterated an owl in my neighbor’s yard yesterday. We’re not sure what it was but it left very little evidence. Feathers and part of a shredded thorax. Pretty gruesome sight.

We had a family of eagles near the plant last year. The parents and two offspring. The father would hunt and the mother and kiddies would show up to feast on the leftovers. Fascinating to watch them up close.

The father had caught a rabbit or some such thing, the mother flew off and came back 5 minutes later with the offspring and they squared off with dad till he gave up and let them have the rest. Then mama and kiddies feasted. Cars were pulled over along the driveway and everyone was standing there on the side of the road watching and taking pictures.
