Only good thing about the hawk migration is that the geese aren't far behind.
According to my sources... the hawks are on their way.
Migration?...Really?
We have them year round and they definitely keep my birds thinned down for me...
I'm not very good at telling the difference between a Cooper's Hawk and a Sharp Shinned, but from my (very limited) research, I've read that one of them are really schedule oriented. In other words, if you feed and let fly at 4:00 every day,...they'll be there waiting at 3:55!
I've seen that first hand, I just don't know which one it is. The older birds can usually out maneuver them, but the young stupid ones are easy pickens...
Last spring, I had just turned the birds out and fed them when one of my old work buddies called, so I sat in a lawn chair under the nearest tree and chatted with him for a bit while I watched the birds fly.
One of the young stupid ones had lit on the power line right in front of me. Out of the corner of my eye I catch movement, so I crank my head around and this big ole Red Tail has a radar lock on the wire bird and he's in stealth glide mode...
I tell my buddy, "Hold on a minute", and start walking over to try to spook either the hawk or the bird off, but just about that time, he kicks out his landing gear and grabs it right there! But...He screwed up!
Instead of just flying off, he dropped about 15' of altitude in less than half a second and was literally 2' from my face! We made eye contact about the time I hollered, "Get outta here you sonofabitch!" (seemed appropriate at the time)
It scared him enough that he let loose and the pigeon flew off unscathed!
True story...

Careful, could end up having to clean a lot of geese.

I would cancel my duck trip to MI and use that time to spend a month on the road camping and making my way there.

It's crossed my mind.
Mail order Russian brides. They won't even have to fly that far.
