look at this post. About a month ago I was shooting starlings from the area and to my surprise a red tailed hawk swooped down and collected the fresh kill. This happened three times to my surprise.

Nicely done, vz. That's one way to get rid of Starlings.

I have a lot of feathers in the backyard from one of the Coopers dining out yesterday. Better than when they dump them in the pool.

Nice shot, both of them Great use for a Starling. It may have allowed that hawk to survive the winter.

Thanks Curmudgeon. We've doveloped a symbiotic relationship. If he/she hears the pellet gun going off it's like the dinner bell. vz
