GOOD MORNING SQUATCHERS!!!

So, riddle me this: What predator could walk off with 4 ducks with absolutely no signs of anything happening to them? No blood, no feathers, no NOTHING!

And, a predator who would leave a huge tatering rooster alone who likes to roost on the top of the coop, EASILY in reach of a flying predator who could snatch his butt off the top of it.

We had lots of rain last night and some high winds... but the winds weren't of the sort I feel would blow 4 ducks away, since we had a pair of sneakers *drying* on the deck banister and they didn't move an inch. Besides, they would've been blown into our side field, so we would have found them. :hit

Rainy and overcast today, so no getting the PIC and friend out of the house and to the pool for swimming.... which stinks to high taters. It's cool enough out that I can do some work in either garage, but absolutely ZERO energy to even get up to make something to eat.. guh.

Sounds like fox to me. They would go for easy prey.....sitting ducks.

Coons get super excited and kill everything.

Fox grab-n-go. They stash the first ones for later and come back for more.

The 'not knowing' is the hardest part. :hugs
My call duck Malibu was missing a duckling Wednesday evening when I got home. I looked all over, hoping to find some sign of something. Viewed 8 hours each of 3 security cameras. Still can't figure out what happened to it. I suspect a feral cat that sneaks around our perimeter, but will probably never know for sure, unless I find a body in the next few days. :(

Well, we're gonna round up the last 2 and pop them into a coop tonight. Definitely. If we left them out and they came up missing too I'd have a complete broken heart, not just a slightly broken heart like right now... :hit

Yep, they all grouped together, which is why I'm confuzzled about it...... got up this morning and just 2 are walking around.... and it's the 2 biggest, and the 2 who are the *lookouts* at night.... but like I said, no signs of the others.....
