The weather was so nice today! I am thinking of enlarging my run area a bit. There is a huge Pine tree over the coop and run area. I thought, it would be hard the hawks to get a good "drop" on the hens with the tree being there. I planned to cover the run with welded stock fencing, 2" X 4" squares.
As I am out taking measurements for the new run, I hear this very loud bird in the Pine tree above me. I look up and there are TWO Hawks! A male and a female. Maybe they are thinking of putting a nest in my Pine tree?!!
I went in to get my camera, and the female had gone to the neighbor's trees. But the male was still there. Here is a photo, can you see him?
I am thinking now I better put some chicken wire or something over the stock wire. That shouldl keep out the wild birds.
