clm,I am surprised he's still around,maybe he's been free for a while??
I have a beautiful big Hawk coming every morning,I think if I had a Budgie here,he would be brekki for a Hawk.. As soon as it get colder,the Hawks are here,although they are amazing to watch,I hate to see them getting one of "my" Pigeons,but that is the way of nature.:sad: Here are a few of my Pigeons...

Oh, I love your pictures.
I have a feeling he has been free for a while Chico2. We too have many hawks who hunt in the yard. Love pigeons and doves mostly, but they're not above taking something smaller, especially the kestrel who isn't too big himself. I actually like to see the hawks, we have a few really big ones and a couple of medium size ones. They have to eat too I tell myself. So Mr Budgie has survived despite a large hawk and owl population here. He's smart as well as lucky. Cindy |

Don't get me wrong,I am in awe over the hawks,kestrels or any birds of prey,we don't have any owls though,at least not what I've seen.
I will hopefully be getting a 7X zoom camera,then,watch out birdies

yes clm,it does,but it only has 3Xzoom,not good enough for my birds.
I used to have Possums around too,I got a picture of one eating on my deck when I used to feed the raccoons. I got a little overwhelmed with raccoons,at one point I had 18(lots of adorable babiesso it had to be stopped:sad: The green light is a good idea,maybe I'll try that,it means you can also see them,right? Here's my Possum,taken through the patiodoor and one of my coon..

No I haven't seen him for weeks now. :sad: I'm hoping someone caught him and he's safe and sound somewhere. That's what I think with my heart. My head tells me that the Kestrel got him.:sad:

I have to try to keep them all away from the backyard here lately because of the puppies. Baxter and Bentley are still stupid enough to go after them. Possums and Raccoons have good sets of claws and teeth, so that wouldn't be a good thing. They come to the cat food dishes out front at night though. My big outdoor cat sits and watches them eat, then bangs on the door to let me know his dish is empty. Last edited by clm; January 5th, 2008 at 09:41 PM. |

You see the possums hiding in the vinyards around here. They hitchhike in trucks coming from further up north. I used to live three hours north of here and we had lots there. Neat little things. |

They're actually not very aggressive animals. They just move rather slow, so the puppies would get to them before they could get away. They would only attack in self defense I'm sure, but I don't really want to encourage them to hang out in the backyard right now just to be on the safe side. I turn the floods on about 5 minutes before I let the dogs out so they have time to get out of the yard. It's been working fine. You may be surprised and really have possums where you are. Try putting a dish of dog food outside at night and watch and see. |

No thank you I thought moving from Montreal to here (boonies) I would see lots of critters but I guess they don't feel comfortable with open areas , like fields , I really don't see any. Other than a fox , I only saw him once.

Yes they do look like big rats. I like these guys though. Only north american marsupial I think so that's neat.

Oh Frenchy,you are one big(petite) sissy
I don't feed raccoons,or possums anymore,but I know they are here at night,especially around the bird-feeders. I love spring when everything comes alive and have babies and if I am lucky enough,I'll see them,even skunkaroos If I had dogs,I might feel different,but my cats are just watching wondering what the heck those creatures are,from the safety of the window. I have a big flashlight,also nightvision binoculars to watch what's going on The neighbor is convinced I am a nut-case!!!!
