Thankfully the crows seem to like the urban area so not as many out in the burbs where my chickens live, but there is a hawk in one of those clips I swear. Btw there is a peregrine falcon that nests on the travelers tower (and has its own dedicated webcam) and I have seen it munching on a freshly killed pigeon. The crows seem to claim the fringe of the city. Kind of like birds of prey Outsiders. The crows are seriously a phenomenon. Been there for years too.

I just took it for granted, figured that crows were everywhere! Learning something new in the BYC forum.

We have a particularly insane amount of crows in the capitol region. One for the record books (even made an article in the NY Times). It is totally surreal in the late fall/early spring, when the sunset is around 5:30. The skyline is really like something from a Hitchcock movie during the commute.

We have a bald eagle about three hundred yards away.And a Osprey? that is near the eagle by the lake.
Racoons and skunks also.
I had to put down one of my brown LH chicks.It had a broken leg.Im guessing it was smaller than the others and got run into.It was preety sad,It didnt put up any fight as i held it.It sure was preety.The leg joint was all broken up and it was dragging the leg behind it. It was suffering.

That was tough, I bet. But humane. Sounds like you have your share of predator pests as well. Good luck!
 
Sorry kap, it's never fun to have to do that. I had one break it's leg just this past winter. Man, that made me so upset. Glad my DH took care of it. :(
