I wondered where the booger went once the snow started. Actually, I think they head on over to the river to avoid the heavy snowfall. We always keep an eye on them.

Red tails are everywhere out here and do get the neighbors chickens quite regularly. The guy down the road who raises hair sheep had four lambs eaten this Spring and Summer by eagles.
