Had one staying in my backyard a few years ago. Had to chase him away with a shovel.

For the first time last week, I saw a coyote in my back yard drinking water out of the bird fountain. He looked mangy.

Sometimes I hear them all 'yipping' in unison at night close by and it makes me think they've caught some poor unsuspecting animal; maybe someone's little dog that was left in the backyard at night.
Looks like they caught seventeen deer and sixteen turkeys all at once out their window this morning. Pretty wild.
unluky wroteWelcome. Awesome photos. Keep 'em coming.Not seen this tread before - I get a lot of action at my house. I'm the last house on my road with farms behind me, so the critters get pretty comfy.
M_Six wroteHawks do have a way of clearing out the neighborhood. We get Cooper's hawks from time to time and every single other living creature hides in fear. Mother nature doing it's thing.There were a dozen or so Blue Jays and Cardinals hanging around the bird feeder today. And then suddenly there were none. I looked out to see why. Big old Red Tail Hawk scared them off. I only got a lousy cell phone pic of the hawk. He was gone by the time I grabbed my Sony. But here's a few of the guests out back.
Your blue jay and cardinal photos are amazing. We don't get either of these beautiful birds here in California. I'm a bit jealous.

M_Six wroteWe had the same thing happen here on Sunday with a red-shouldered hawk. It actually dive-bombed a suet feeder, looped around, and landed in a tree for a minute or two. We see them regularly but rarely so close - the suet feeder is just a few feet from the window (just far enough to be out of squirrel-jumping range from the house).Big old Red Tail Hawk scared them off.
