I meant to add a caption.

I took this picture while riding on a train in Scotland. I took it because my hubby looks up and says, "Oh. This must be where we push the babies out the window."

I thought it was warning you, The winds out there will blow you down.

So this morning the usual hawks visited my pigeons pens. Typically I open the back door & come outside, hawks may fly off, or wait for me to approach close, before flying off. Sometimes the Crows will dive bomb & caw caw, to chase them off. I like Crows, nursed one back to health once, some moron shot it with those bouncey, rubber pellets. Anyway, the Crows & buzzards enjoy the occasional cracked eggs I set out for them. The Crows also caw cawed loudly when I chased hawks off waving a broom like a crazy lady, then proceeded to fly after villainous hawk, finishing the job. I guess the Crows wanted to show their approval of my joining the hawk chase effort. After I chased off a huge female Red Shoulder hawk this morning, the Crows chased her further, then a bit later they All came back. They landed on top of the pigeon pens & cawed, bobbing their heads. I looked for more hawks, but saw none. The Roosters & Guineas weren't raising a ruckus either. I walked over to the Crows & asked what was up. One crow actually walked towards me, with something in his beak. He dropped it down, looked at me, they all cawed, then flew off, in no hurry, crowing. I had no idea what it was & had to use the hose water to get it down off of the pen top. It looked like a miniature, brown banana...some kind of pod. I Googled it & learned it is a Paw Paw tree seed pod. Pretty cool! The Crows actually brought me a gift! I know they often steal things, clothespins on the line, anything that shines or is nest building & decorating worthy, or whatever they deem as being cool. Well, thank you so much for giving back Crows! I'm going to plant a few Paw Paws.

Pigeon pens now decorated with Mr. Owl in such a way he won't keep blowing away. Now attached to heavy board, I have to keep moving Mr. Owl around, hawks get used to a statue if it never moves.

They are adorable!
I want some but I hate losing the very occasioanl chicken to predators, I imagine it would happen more often to guinea fowl.
