    I've fed the crows for years. Every morning I go out with a tray of cat kibble and occasionally some meat like chicken scraps or beef gristle. My

  • Raccoon58 In the spring my neighbor's yard floods a little creating a small pond. It seems every year a pair of mallard ducks hang out there for a few weeks until it dries out.

Nothing silence so I started again. I realized on the third try that they were putting themselves in jeopardy by giving away their locations to warn me about what turned out to be a hawk/
