I dispatched of some nuisance squirrels today and within 10 minutes this guy came to dinner. Beautiful bird, since he got a large dinner today hopefully the rabbits will live to see another day!
I like watching most anything that happens by. Caught a yote on game camera dragging deer carcass away. Possum LOVE crab apples! Coons are pretty much scavengers that will eat most anything.Raptor welfare!

Old people down the road later 70's are animal whisperers. She feeds them out of her hand and Mr Bear visits their porch regular and the naturally feed the resident geese.

A friend of mine in California had trouble with bears. They never got in the house but would tear up her trash cans even when in a locked container.Me too, nicest people you would ever want to meet. Plus she loves to make cakes!
We had a nesting pair in the tree line around the hay field behind our house in northern Illinois. Used to use the bird and squirrel feeders as a delicatessen.I dispatched of some nuisance squirrels today and within 10 minutes this guy came to dinner.
