    No eagles around here to speak of. Maybe 10 years back one was spotted and made the local news. Thing about this Rabbit leg is that it was found near her driveway. She had put the trash out before dark and it wasn't there. Next morning before heading to work she was adding a small bag to the garbage and seen the rear leg just a couple feet from her dumpster. So it showed up at night. I'm not ruling out a Big Hawk that could have dropped it elsewhere and something dragged it here. But at the size of the leg that had to of been one big Azz Hawk. We've had our share of Hawks hit the morning doves using our bird feeders, sometimes hearing the doves 'Plump' in to the patio glass. The kill was fresh and I should of got a picture even if just to show how the bone was crushed to get to the marrow.

    Yesterday after I posted above I rode down and mowed the vacant double lot I own which is next door to her place. While looking around the riverbank I found 3 separate Chicken feather piles. That partial log jam is to the left behind the ladies house. The banks are too steep to walk down to look around.
    Only on this side of our road can you own farm animals because it's a different township. I'll have to ask my neighbor next door Ole Bill when I see him who might own chickens.

    Got excited this morning hunting as a nose slooowly started poking thru the high grass as the ducks were close to the bank. Kept poking thru until I could see it was a wet mid size Doe that came down in to the water about knee deep for a drink. Others followed, some fed on the acorns others laid out in the sun on the grass. This is actually the best time to be Pike fishing, but I'll stick with this a bit longer.

    Don't let size dissuade the possibility. I've seen an entire, very fat, squirrel carried off in daylight by a rather small red tail hawk. Landed on it with some force. I was not 20 yards away working in the yard and it startled me almost as much as it did the squirrel. He worked the talons in for half a minute until the squirming slowed, then worked real hard to get up to the big branch right next to my back porch. I slowly pulled out my phone and took a few picks. As I manuvered closer to get a better shot with fewer leaves in the way, it spooked and flew off with his quarry. He struggle for altitude with such a large squirrel, but by the time he was maybe 40ft off the ground he gave up and let go. It was a sight to behold the damage that was done with just a minutes work of his talons.
    Most of our yard rabbits are only out at night or twilight, surprisingly quite tame. Then again I am in the burbs. I catch foxes almost every night on my cameras. And if I step out to the porch for a late nightcap, I will often hear their death scream. If only they put a bigger dent in the population, I might have a cabbage survive to make it to the dinner table. I'll try to dig for my yard-hawk pictures. Remarkable birds - any bird of prey for that matter.
