I love when reseachers have to go online to explain stuff that should be common sense.

We had a hawk attempt to snatch our outdoor cat once, it ripped up the furr on both sides of his back from the claws but otherwise he was fine. He wouldn't let you pet him for a while though

He's 14 now.

Just saw two baby eagles up in branches near their nest catching some rays a couple of days ago and yesterday saw a eagle nest along the southern part of the WI river big enough for
Michael Moore to have been raised in...
Now if we could only train eagles to snatch up illegals we be golden...

So....let me get this straight.......

People voluntarily log on to a site to see eagles in real time, which are both a scavenger and highly proficient predator perform their daily task of surviving. The eagle catches and eats a cat and people are butthurt over these two points:
1. The eagle is just doing what eagles do to survive normally.
2. Somehow the people "offended" by this display of nature conveniently failed to realize that they were not forced at gunpoint to watch it and could have opted to not watch, closed the window of the site....or at least turn their heads away.

You can't even waste time applying logic to this discussion with the kind of people who are upset over this. Their lives must be way too sheltered.

I have bald eagles, osprey, red tailed hawks, barred owls, cooper's hawks around my place.  I have to watch the signs for them before I let my little 10 pound dog outside.  Usually, I can hear them, or the other birds go quiet when predators are around, usually the crows will get a group of crows (a group of crows is called a murder of crows) that try to harass the predator out of the area.  So far, I have been successful...for the past 5 years anyhow.

I'm waiting for PETA to show up with their signs, and start screaming "It's not food, it's murder!" at a pair of eagles that DGAF.

Yo....Pteradons

Pteranodon (/t?'ræn?d?n/; from Greek pte??? ("wing") and ???d?? ("toothless") is a genus of pterosaurs which included some of the largest known flying reptiles, with wingspans over 6 metres (20 ft). It existed during the late Cretaceous geological period of North America in present day Kansas, Alabama, Nebraska, Wyoming, and South Dakota. More fossil specimens of Pteranodon have been found than any other pterosaur, with about 1,200 specimens known to science, many of them well preserved with nearly complete skulls and articulated skeletons. It was an important part of the animal community in the Western Interior Seaway.[1]

Pteranodon was not a dinosaur. By definition, all dinosaurs belong to either order within Dinosauria, either Saurischia or Ornithischia. As such, this excludes pterosaurs. Nonetheless, Pteranodon is frequently featured in dinosaur media and is strongly associated with dinosaurs by the general public.[2]

years ago we heard a racket outside, our porch cat was fighting off a red tailed hawk.  The hawk didn't die but definitely lost.  That cat was a BAMF. I am pretty sure most cats would have been eaten.  She just died last year, we had her 14 years and she was full grown with kittens when we found her.

There's a red-tailed hawks nest overlooking my back yard...sometimes bunnies make the mistake of hopping into the yard to munch something tasty.

I find circles of bunny fur in the yard fairly frequently, and a couple of times I've heard the death cry...my cat never goes outside.

Lots of baldies and hawks around here. Every time someone tears up an abandoned nest they find collars and name tags. Oh well.



We also (currently) have an abundance of wild bunnies running around the suburban neighborhoods. People forget that prey attracts predators, and once the initial wild prey thins out the small pets are next on the list. Coyotes gotta eat too.

At a nearby lake, they have a webcam on an osprey nest.  This year, they turned off the live feed because, out of the last 6 clutches of eggs, only a couple ospreys made it.  There is a great horned owl in the area who snatches them up.  To see the camera now, you have to go to some welcome center.  Nature, she bad!  I would be upset if I saw my cat on that camera and I would feel bad for the owners if the cat in the nest had a collar on, but that's nature.
