Just another indication of how bad the economy is. Even Red Tails can't find a decent job and have to take handouts.

I had a resident Red Tail that would "come to the sound of the guns" When I had a dove hunt he would always come, sit on a tree at the edge of the field and pick up shot doves. This went on for three years with some dove hunters getting angry:right Tom Carter? Then a resident eagle fought and killer the hawk. I really enjoyed watching the Red tail .

Our pigeon club is a great feasting area for hawks. They don't always wait until the shoot is over to go picking. A friend lost a pheasant to a mature Bald Eagle while shooting at Native Shore Shooting Preserve in MD.

How about an aggressive golden eagle with a four or five foot wingspan circling above waiting for you to hit a bird?
They regularly kill lambs, fawns and geese. |

This is good. Yesterday mornig we lost a quail to our resident hawk. My boy Nash went on point and after a few minutes of kicking the brush we came on the remains of one white quail. Nothing but feathers and blood.
Pat wants to shot him because everytime she puts out birds for training by the time she gets back to field with the dog the hawk's already had breakfast. Of course she know she can't shot it.

I've had seagulls fillet the breasts right off ducks laying on the ice beyond the decoys, and a lot faster than you'd think possible.

I've seen hawks pick up pigeons right out of the ring on more than one occasion.
Once at the Philadelphia Gun Club one got into the bed of my truck and ate about half a goose that was laying there waiting to be cleaned. DLH
