@Carissimi I don’t know how common it is for them to eat geese but they will if they are hungry. A falcon gets robins here, one hit the bedroom window when the robin was trying to get away and i went outside and it flew over the fence with the robin. Sometimes I will find a pile of feathers where something has caught a robin and thinking a falcon or hawk, they circle around here sometimes leaving hawk feathers in the yard.

@cherokeepatti They introduced hawks here in Florida to deal with the iguanas and they’re eating all the seagulls instead

@stratosranger there are seagulls here and it wouldn’t break my heart if the hawks get some of them, they are like rats at the trash dumps and they will crap up cars in Walmart parking lots eating stuff people throw out in the parking lot or the workers throw to them at lunch break.

@Scribbles those are Harpy eagle talons and Golden eagle talons, much bigger than Bald eagles.

@Scribbles We have bald eagles in my area, I’ve seen them a few times. The males are smaller than the females.

@Deceased Eagles, I believe a Harpy and a Golden

@cherokeepatti sucker is HUUUUUGE!
Around the neighbothood we have a family of four hawks. 2 years ago it was a single mated pair.

@Deceased I’m happy to see them build up their population. When I was growing up I didn’t see many hawks, it was rare. DDT was used so much back then it was affecting birds being able to hatch their young, the eggs were fragile. It took awhile after it was banned to see the increase and I keep an eye out for them when I am driving anywhere in rural areas. Also have seen different kinds around here, some migrating birds and some stay year round. Hawks and falcons are sitting on fences watching for prey and they help keep the vermin populations down.

@cherokeepatti I saw one try to grab a cat at the farm

@TexChik yikes, I’ve heard that wild hogs love cats the most

[@yes they do . So do coyotes and bobcats . Kitties taste good

@SW-User they can pick up a smaller deer and haul it off
