Although, we've not seen as many birds lately, well, other than doves. Once in a great while, I'll catch an owl roosting in the top of one of our trees. It's interesting to see a barrel of feathers perched on the very top of a tree. And, I saw a hawk take a dove in our backyard a few weeks ago. I saw a pile of feathers on the ground, wondered what was going on and wandered up just in time to see the hawk take off with its prey. Pretty much how nature works. Get lots of prey and the predators show up.
