Hawk Attack

[P-Funk]

As I turned off the vacuum today I heard a comotion outside. When I opened the door my 5 'big' girls where cowering in the garden with the puppy. I look up to see a huge bird chewing on one of the 3 month olds. I scared it off, but it was too late. It had to be a hawk, but i've never sen one around here, ever. My question is why can I only find one body? There are only black feathers, no gold ones from the EE.

I'm sorry to hear about your loss. I would bet that your EE is hiding somewhere. I hope you find her tonight!

You're absolutely right. She came from nowhere along with her 'sister' just as the sun set. What a day. It makes me sick to my stomach to bury a pet, but it could have been a lot worse. They won't be free ranging alone (or with the 'guard' dog) for a while.

I am so sorry. Hawks are my most successful predators, so I feel your pain. I'm glad you were able to find the others.
