Birds of prey, hmmmm.

We started this spring off with 5 new India Blue Peachicks.

Over the last 4 wks. we have lost 3.

I watched them roosting in a big live oak the other nite and went out with the flashlight to see the remaining 3 trying to squeeze under mommas wings.

A couple of hours later I hear a loud screech.
Went outside only to discover two large owls at the bottom of the oak shredding chick # 3.

Birds of prey vs. a pissed off farmer who has lost $1,000 in livestock in the past weeks?... Whell, let's just say we won't lose anymore chicks.

Great video, has anyone seen the video of the Golden Eagle pulling the Bighorn Sheep lamb over the cliff edge and then feeding on the carcass?
