I don’t mind them hunting, but not sitting on top of the feeder! Especially in the winter! On the other hand, love seeing the Red-Tails at any time.

They will feast on a Gambel quail or a white winged dove whenever they can catch one. All it takes to create a little nature preserve here is everyday seed & everyday freshening of our water saucers. I love the Cooper’s being part of the scene. We are fortunate to get such close up views of the natural world in action. Thank you for this.
