  2. I saw a. Ig peregrine the other week while out shooting pigeons at a business. We had put the pigeons up in the air and they normally circle arond And land but after a few cir cles they took off! Only took me a min to find the falcon as i knew there must of been a bird of prey around. Was A beautiful big bird that hung around for. A short while then moved on. The pigeons cme back pretty quick after it left too.
  3. Hi Amy no not in that area tho i am in foothills. Had another guy 10 min drive from here having the same prob with a hawk and he thought maybe the same one but im not sure. I tend to see common birds around a bit we have a very big hawk here and the other day i saw 2 big ones so it may of paired up perhaps . 2doors down is a big pine tree and they always up top. We have lots of feral doves so they seem to hunt them a lot, its awesome seeing them take one of them
  4. The android os looks promising. They may end up beatingthe iphones i would avoid htc's we have them at work and they suck. The palm treo were pretty avg too.
  5. I have hawks here everyday as they live nearby. I use the white bird netting its cheap but doesnt give the best look. Ive only lost 2 birds and both times because the mesh was not on that day. Had what i think was a rehabilitated goshawk here a while back you could get real close to it. It also was trying toget my birds after dark!! Had an owl here for a few dAys a couple weeks back that attacked my birds(again netting was not fully covering.) i baited the *** out of the mice and havent seen it since so it must of moved on Sunshine how high are your perches? Ive found low ones make them go perch on the wire more
