All I saw was a grackel and some white-crowned sparrows.

Probably last years brood. Too young to mate. Too old to stay at home with mom and dad.
I've seen 2 in a tree a few times at the homestead. Seeing 3 Pileated Woodpeckers was pretty exciting though. |

Probably 3 nestlings that have stuck together longer than redtail hawks usually do. It's unusual whether that's the case or not. Can't understand why people think all predators, bird and/or animal, should be killed.

I had 3 bald eagles in a tree 75 yards away during deer season a couple years ago. 2 adults and one juvenile eating on my gut pile. Was pretty awesome.

I’m only half serious about spirit animals, and I honestly don’t know how it’s supposed to work, but I have an interesting(to me, anyway) story about red tails and me. I once got really lost in rural Arkansas after delivering a load of pipe to a job-site, and the ‘shortcut’ back to I-40 got me even more lost. It was getting dark, no sun, pre cell phone, my map didn’t show the road I was on, and I was a new driver beginning to panic. I got to a T-intersection and there was a hawk sitting on the sign. It turned its head and looked to the left & back at me a few times. I took it as a sign, turned left and followed the road to another T-intersection and found another hawk, this one looking to the right. This continued several more times until I could see 40 off in the distance, at which point I saw no more hawks. Another time Mrs. IHJ came to pick me up from work, but couldn’t find which truck was mine. There were 100 identical tractors parked in rows & I was asleep in the back of one of them. She circled the lot until she saw a hawk sitting on a lamp post right above my truck, so she stopped. The hawk dipped its head a few times and then flew off, and Mrs. IHJ’s knock on the door woke me up. |

My chickens were all under the coop the other day, I thought it was unusual, looked up and there was a hawk of some variety, too far away to positively identify.

We have a generational redtail nest in the yard next to ours.
They keep the critters in check. We also have a pair of great horned owls this year. Given that we are overrun with rats and rabbits, they are welcome. |

Who’s the Arfcommer who shot video of the red tail nailing mice that he set out on his porch railing? All you could see was the mouse, then WHAM, the talons smash down on the mouse like something out of a Godzilla movie.

And they shouldn't be. There's plenty of them around here, but not plenty of rabbits, quail, grouse, etc.. Quote HistoryQuoted:
Quoted:
They are federally protected by the MBTA and can not be hunted. Further - you could argue that if the raptor populations are plentiful, that prey population are or were also plentiful. Like all predators, Buteo pops will lag prey pop inputs. I’ll bet things are balanced just fine. Historical overpopulation of prey species as a result of predator control isn’t a reason to control predators when prey pops drop. Predator pops will drop naturally, prey pops will recover, and you start the cycle all over. Most cases it just means YOU have to work harder when hunting. I know I know “but muh elk... fucking wolves...” Ecosystems will try to find equilibrium, so hang on for the ride as they do. |
