--> so the other day a hawk tackled a pigeon mid-air and landed in my backyard. i missed the actual hunt but go the aftermath. a midsized hawk ripping apart then toying w/it's prey in my backyard. that pigeon was toast. got riped to shreads. feathers everywhere, head was all mangleg and its breast was ripped open like gutted. the hawk just sat there on top of it, claws dug in pecking it to pieces and ripping the flesh right out of it. never seen that so close. never expected it in my yard.

i buried the carcas near wher ei buried the dead baby crow. i have my own bird cemetery now.

so far, racoons, crows, baby crows, cats killing baby crows, chipmunks galore, and now the hawk.

it wasn't a huge hawk but was really a cool looking bird. check the pics.

thats some freeky shit.

ONCE, i saw a bee attack, then fly off with a spider.
it freeked me out bigtime.

this huge spider, in a web, right outside my window.. i would stare at it, in horror.
then this good sized bee looks like its stuck in her web!... but, the bee just grabbed the spider, and flew off!
WTF

Your backyard is a case of animals gone wild.

Oh wait, they're already wild. Never mind.

you need a video camera.
and you should just leave a pile of raw meat in your yard and see what else comes along!
mmmmmmm...meat.

(see ya at ramp?)

sniff sniff... hey... FREE MEAT!!

That reminds me, some drunk hippy hobo tried to sell us some steak and shrimp (cheap!) from his knapsack last week. That was a new one.

The squirrels are out to sabotage our power supply: link

Dude, why didn't you throw the pigeon carcas on the bbq!! That's good eating!
Plus, I will call you BeastMaster from now on! You just need a pair of ferrets.

Alberta has hippies?

I was on SE Gladstone, just off 39th.
Happy home of hundreds of hippy hobos who harangue you for handouts and hawk second-hand hams.

"suicide commando squirrels sacrifice life to annoy humans"

they always get elctrocuted when they get too careless.

frio- the carcas was pretty well picked over or maybe i would have slapped some marinade on it.

Are you sure they weren't Reedies wearing the latest in Hobo fashion? It's sometimes hard to tell.

maybe it was a terrorist pigeon delivering message to terror cells and the hawk was a homeland security hawk? glad to know we are safe!
