    Bird of Prey Experts Needed

    In looking at the 2nd pic, I don't believe it to be a red-tail, because the tail feathers aren't those of a red-tail. I think it could be a Cooper's and the colors seem to fit much better than a red-tail also.

    Bird of Prey Experts Needed

    The first one has similar patterns and colors to that of a redtail....but, the angle of the pic hinders the identification because the wings and tail are the main differences between the Buteo....broad-winged hawks and the Accipiters....which are long-tailed hawks. There are several Accipiters...

    So we made it back from picking up Gabbie about 2:30pm....just in time for tending to all the other animals, spend a little time letting Gabbie getting aquainted with the backyard and then final round lockups. Here Gabbie is after we got her and she settled down a bit... ....this is one taken a...

    We have several 3gal buckets that we use for water, with the goats and ducks.....this is what we use inside with them at nite.... ...it is about 5 1/2" deep and holds around 2-2.5gals. So, the problem wouldn't be if they would use it, but if the other animals would drink after them....chickens...

    My wife, Joyce, has difficulty breathing lying in a bed, so she sleeps in a recliner and we like different temps too....so I sleep in the bedroom where I can crack open a window if needed. When Gabbie gets house broke I won't say she won't sleep on the bed some, but she will always have her room...

    It is actually a walk-in closet, but all I wear is T-shirts and blue jeans, so nothing is in there except some storage shelves....so, now it will be Gabbie's room. It is in the master bedroom and will be a good location for her....:)

    The Old Folks Home

    My Dad was stationed at the Navy base close by there. I dealt with enough snow there in those 2yrs to last a Lifetime. The townhouse we were moving to wasn't ready when we got there and we stayed in a fishing cabin with a wood stove and an outhouse right on they bay....the dang marker bouy...

    I'd sure be checking every nook and cranny and every stitch of packing....that is a crying shame!! It'd probably be difficult to find a good replacement too, being so old.

    My rule has always been....he who pays the Bill dictates the thermostat....for some reason it has always been me.....:) I must say @superchemicalgirl that after 2yrs in Winter Harbor, there is absolutely no way that I'd retire up there....I'd certainly rather be in Mississippi......:D

    We saw almost everyday for about a year, as Dad was stationed at Pearl Harbor, then he was transfered to a different base more inland....we lived in Hawaii for 3yrs....but, I have never returned there...I was 6 when we left in '64....:)

    Comprehensive list of preditor proofing needs

    If ya don't want to use electric wire, a couple of dogs would certainly help....if the chickens are proofed, then LGDs wouldn't be necessary, but a couple of german shepherds sure would be a big help to ya and also help to watch the kids when they are outside with such a variety of predators...

    I don't blame ya a single bit there either Bruce....I sure wouldn't. Tho, they would need enough to submerge their heads in, but not swim. I've noticed the discrepancies in the eggs/yr also....but, I know what it is that I experience and maybe locale may play a part, not really sure....then...

    New Here! Looking for some advice

    First off, a lot will depend on how many ducks ya are thinking about getting. During the winter is not the ideal time to brood them, because they grow at a very rapid rate and by the time they get feathered out....about 6 wks old....they are about half grown and depending on breed, it may be a...
