Cute State Animals

Quote:We have red-tail hawks aplently here in the widest U.S. We have to keep an eye on them with the chickens and baby goats, kittens, puppies, etc. they consider these little ones a nice treat!
We have friends not far away, who have a 'gathering place' of sorts for bald eagles. Each year when they nest they come to this place and you can see dozens of them in the trees. An awesome sight!!

A red tailed hawk can take a baby goat? Wow! In the city they live on small birds, pigeons and Squirrels. They might get the odd rabbit. Mostly we hope they will take the pigeons because like many cities we are over run or should I say over flown with pigeons.

An interesting pigeon detail, our pigeons ride the subway system. They fly down to platform level and go across town to another station where food is good and then they come back again. There are no hawks of any kind inside the subway system. Pretty clever eh?

What an incredible thing, an eagle gathering place. They are very fortunate people to have such a thing on their property. I hope they get pictures.
