Didn’t get a pic but at about 4:00 a hawk came down and plucked a dove off of my neighbors garage roof. It was raining feathers

They eat more than you would think

Update:

Yes they would make Eric Carle proud.

It appears that we sacrificed a lot of garnish to fatten up the Parsleypillar just to feed a tree rat.

I'll have to check out surveillance video (please no) but I suspect a roving rodent filched our vital pollinator for lunch.

To be fair, that's what the ba$tard gets for eating his cover. But it was soooo close to doing the chrysalis thing,... I'm disappointed. :(

Not back yard per se, but I passed a doe ambling along the median of the Seaford-Oyster Bay Expwy at about 2:30 this afternoon.

It was near exit 9, so I guess it had wandered off the Bethpage Park reservation. Still odd to see a deer on the Expressway.

Forgot to add... It's probably because Climate Change.

While on the subject of critters, does anyone know if there are any dogs, or cats left in Springfield?

On Long Island, adult male wild turkeys, or toms, typically weigh 18 to 25 pounds and stand about 30 inches tall, while females (hens) are smaller, averaging 9 to 12 pounds. These Eastern wild turkeys are native to the area and can be identified by the large size and darker, metallic-sheened plumage of the males, while hens are smaller and have blue-gray heads and rusty-brown bodies.

try coming around a blind curve in your vehicle to find a couple of dozen in the middle of the road.
