How many of you have seen Red Tails sitting on fence posts next to the highway watching traffic go by in the last decade or so. That never happened when I was a kid.

Here they are basically just coyote with wings . I want to say the % of increase for red tail hawks since 1960 matches the % of decrease in the quail population .
But according to the anti hunters theres no correlation .
