I’ve mentioned before how much we like all of the wildlife we see on our property, but yesterday it was the source of some dismay as we watched this juvenile Red-Tailed Hawk try to make our chickens into a breakfast buffet. It is times like these that I am glad I used hardware cloth on the coop. As they say, chicken wire keeps chickens in, but doesn’t keep predators out.

Neat video, but it’s not a Cooper’s Hawk. Appears to be a juvenile Redtail hawk instead. Their tails aren’t red until they are at least a year old.
