M2A:
I dont mean to change the direction of this thread however thought the pic below was rather cool and on topic.

Last week I was driving through a .5 ac bramble field at work, looking at how they handled the recent cold snap. Not paying attention, I got with in a few feet a a red tail before he decided I was too close. That will get your hart going first thing in the morning. lol He landed on the next post in the row and hung around long enough for me to get some nice pictures from 20 ft away.

Hope he stays around there and keeps the bunnies under control in that field. rabbits sure do like to eat the bark on raspberries/blackberries over the winter that kills the canes. That field is too close to a new housing plan to deal with them and those plants provide great cover during the winter. So I hope this one stays around and eats well, saw it today so he has been staying close. Hope you all enjoy the picture.

Nice close up.We have them here too with other smaller types of hawks and 2 different types of owls along with bobcats to deter the bunnies.But somehow it is'nt quite enough to deminish the numbers.I shot 3 more in the last 2 days myself to help things along.
Garden is looking ok yet.

Nice picture Mike. They always say every good coyote has a crow.

I think every farmer has a couple birds of prey to. They are always sitting on a pole or circling overhead. Waiting to swoop down and take advantage of the opportunity that comes their way.

Jerry. Lots of old timers around here with one arm. Most from corn pickers.

I'm sure of that!  It doesn't take but a flash to get hurt!
