JSngry Posted January 25, 2022 Report Share Posted January 25, 2022 Yeah, I'm a leech on society, obviously. Actually....I have come to hate squirrels in their living state, they are destructive and invasive creatures, so getting a gun and killing then and then consulting a you tube to see how to dress them is not at all an unappealing idea for me.

Dub Modal Posted January 25, 2022 Report Share Posted January 25, 2022 "Mom, don't move!" I'm content to let the buzzards and hawks have all the squirrel they want. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HutchFan Posted January 25, 2022 Report Share Posted January 25, 2022 The red-shouldered hawk that lives in my backyard makes sure that the squirrel population is "managed" 'round these parts. In our yard, I've stumbled across dessicated squirrel carcasses split open along the belly and picked clean. Only some fur and a bit of bone left. A few years ago, I was lucky enough to watch "our" hawk fall out of the sky and land directly on top of a snake. The hawk grabbed the snake with his talons and away he went. Jaw droppingly FAST and efficient. The creek that runs along the back boundary of our property draws all sorts of wildlife. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSngry Posted January 25, 2022 Report Share Posted January 25, 2022 I want one of those hawks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HutchFan Posted January 25, 2022 Report Share Posted January 25, 2022 Here's what he looks like: I'd estimate that he's 12", maybe 14" tall -- from top of his head to the tip of his tail. The striped tail-feathers are what distinguished the "red shouldered" hawk. When he opens those wings, it's impressive! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
