Spent several hours this morning on the dock and in the yard - A few goodies!
Had a river otter in the yard rolling in the grass and watched a Cooper's Hawk
grab a dove under the feeders. The hawk pinned the dove on the ground and stood
on it until it expired. Hawk headed into the brush to eat its' prey.
Our eagle pair are enjoying coots for their evening meal, and there are over
300 for them to choose from here on the lake.
