Thanks for the feedback I prefer to be in my little world of the small birds that feed on seed and insects. I do love hawks and raptors though, when I was growing up we befriended a hawk and would feed it ground hamburger when it would visit and perch on the backyard fence. Civilization is taking over so much of the open spaces to build houses, businesses etc... there will be no place for these animals to go one day, how sad ! We have racoons that dig in the dumpster where I live,but they are not to smart and run out into the street and die also. I saw one the other night, just as it was getting dark and it was not a pretty sight a car got it.
