I lost a beloved cat to a hawk or coyote. They are not so wonderful now. And don't get me started on the racoons, squirrels, possums and skunks.Candy https://www.blogger.com/profile/01852157597174301499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5456722259350114571.post-40343076009200975002009-11-10T19:26:32.827-06:002009-11-10T19:26:32.827-06:00Thanks for taking us along on your drive, nice sho...Thanks for taking us along on your drive, nice shots.Iowa Gardening Womanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13457574109288160557noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5456722259350114571.post-48857585591123252602009-11-10T18:38:23.416-06:002009-11-10T18:38:23.416-06:00When one of our local nature spokesperson, laughed...When one of our local nature spokesperson, laughed about an eagle taking a small poodle, I was beyond angry. All animal life needs to have respect. I know they have become a nuisance along the Mississippi River. I am glad they are back and we stopped the poisons that were killing all birds. I haven't seen Minnesota in the fall ever, but some of these days we are going to cut loose. Good blog.L.

I told hubby about the Google you mentioned and he knew about it.:) I love reading about your adventures with Chance and Far Guy...you are such a wonderful family that so enjoys the outdoors! I agree with you about that Eagle too! I get upset with animals killing other animals but then I have to remember that it is their instinct. My cat is always beheading some beautiful bird and it makes me hate her for the moment...then I realize it is part of her nature I guess....as sad as it is. Trapping!! I don't like that one bit!! I think that is one of the cruelest ways of hunting wild animals!! You always make me think and I love that. Give that big beautiful black and white Chancey a big hug for me will ya?:)Debbiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08324773183766269250noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5456722259350114571.post-74884358145583090312009-11-10T15:16:16.133-06:002009-11-10T15:16:16.133-06:00It looks like a beautiful place to take a walk.

She said it was the most beautiful place in our country and I believe it. I wish it wasn't so cold there in the winter or I would consider a move. I have always wanted to see an Eagle in person, but learning this about them I am not sure that I would have much respect for them anymore.Raehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04858158707328118375noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5456722259350114571.post-57484351339591498152009-11-10T13:59:39.087-06:002009-11-10T13:59:39.087-06:00Love the new header.

I have a Cooper's Hawk that is eyeing my fat little chickadees. I also love the header and wondered if you have a collection of them and change them each for the season, or make them anew. I find it to be more work than I expect each time I make a new header, so many choices! But yours are always ALWAYS outstanding.DJanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07152183871573797791noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5456722259350114571.post-75947798312414945892009-11-10T12:32:56.928-06:002009-11-10T12:32:56.928-06:00I do like reading of your adventures.

I might feel differently if they hung around my house. <br /><br />Are you talking bear baiting? That used to be legal. I know there was a law proposed to make it illegal but didn't realize it went through.
