But as Jean says, the food chain.... <br /><br />We have some feathers that I find on the ground from the hawks. Wonder if I would be in trouble for having them? I doubt it but still wonder.... <br /><br />I took our big bird feeder down due to the pesky Grackles showing up. I no longer see them but am enjoying the nice neat look of undisturbed pine straw under the area where the feeder belongs. No squirrels or doves scratching around. But I do miss my birds. May put the feeder back up when the temps get cooler. Too hot to erect it now...Skeeterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08222522533934405029noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5599539190932167212.post-41201533487219100942011-07-25T09:55:27.320-04:002011-07-25T09:55:27.320-04:00Hi Dawn!

Will fill you in sometime. I am pretty sure that this hawk has been in my yard this year too.I've never seen one before this year. They are extremely fast...so when I try to see it in flight I can't get a good look. Mine has some red. I just looked outside my back field to see mom and pop and little baby turkeys wandering around. The deer have eaten half my sunflowers in the garden again this year. It's so hot I can barely make it out there to water so my garden is suffering...weeds and not enough water...not a good combo! I hope you are feeling well. I think of you often and I also wonder about Kathleen too. She's on facebook but i am not. Are you? I can't wait for fall...hate, hate, hate this heat~~Debbiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08324773183766269250noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5599539190932167212.post-44731019820265950072011-07-22T20:37:12.699-04:002011-07-22T20:37:12.699-04:00Wow!

How frightful, even though I do love watching them fly.Nancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06522725338783631084noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5599539190932167212.post-55983800336061998872011-07-21T15:05:36.303-04:002011-07-21T15:05:36.303-04:00So sad for the little robin.

Couldn't tell what they were but suspect they may have been mocking birds.<br />Boy, it sure is hot out. Had to come in & cool off.Lolanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5599539190932167212.post-11396781122194860242011-07-21T11:26:33.458-04:002011-07-21T11:26:33.458-04:00The food chain but still sad.

Watch those pets though as I've heard of them taking small dogs too!tinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17415302577518111227noreply@blogger.com
