This is from the same YouTube Channel that I posted earlier of the eagle contemplating the tastiness of a cat: [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V63-jJknM9A[/youtube]
I think putting scraps on your deck to attract foxes and bald eagles and allowing that wildlife to mingle with your cat is a risky proposition. One day there will be a larger fox who will not be so started by that cat. Or maybe the local food will not be enough and the usually satiated predators will try for the cat.
Holy cow I saw a lot of migrants back today! Some like the above song sparrow were singing right on the same spot they were singing the year before. Today was full of first of the year birds for me including pelicans, phoebes and tree swallows. I hope we don't five inches of snow in the next month that puts a hitch in their arrivals.
This is a young bald eagle working out whether this furry creature is potential food. The cat is lucky. Had this been a golden eagle...it would have been toast. [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X1baqLbmqaQ[/youtube]
