Probably shouldn't be patting too many coyotes on the head over being such good friends for the bird population until they check with the turkey population out there ....lol.

 

Yeah, the kitty population has been long known to be the scourge of the bird populations. But it isn't only the ones that have gone wild. I suspect that the domestic tabby that always shows up at home each day gets his share of birds as well. Pet owners who think it is great to let their pets run free, seldom think of the efficiency of these exceptional predators.

I'm seeing so many big yote on the cams...and circling buzzards over our place...it is not good....not a rabbit sighting all summer and half the fawn...though there are many single doe groups so part of that was the winter I'm sure.

This sudden spike in coyote here and the asinine moves the DEC has shown themselves capable of...the conspirator in me thinks a catch and release could have happened ...we are in a "high density unit"
