When it comes to Owl hoots, I'll take a Barred Owl any day over a GHO. In the Spring when I turkey hunt one little "who cooks for you" will often bring on the hallelujah chorus of Barred owl responses. GHOs on the other hand have just a quiet little silly hoo hoo hoo to add to the symphony...Geo

Many years ago while glassing for antelope from a high hill, I spotted a badger lugging a dead jack rabbit. Overhead, a golden eagle was scoping out the badger. The eagle swooped down repeatedly but couldn't get the badger to give up its dinner. The badger seemed quite willing to take on the eagle, and it eventually gave up and sailed away.

The reverse happens also. Years ago, my wife and I watched a single coyote take a Jack rabbit from 2 golden eagles. I'm not exactly sure why the eagles didn't simply fly off with it, but they lost.

There was a big coyote in the harvested peanut field behind my house this morning scavenging peanuts. I told him to go kill a deer to eat and leave my dove feed alone.

Coyotes are omnivores and will feed on persimmons, pears, and other fruits if available. Southern coyotes prefer boiled, not parched peanuts in contrast to their northern brethren. Gil

They'll eat anything. I once saw one grazing on lush green ryegrass, like a cow.

At one time, when I was just a kid, maybe 8-10 years old, there was a pheasant hatchery at the large Carlos Avery WMA just north of the twin cities. A great horned owl was in the habit of flying back and forth hooting at the contained pheasants, which, would panic them, and they would rush at the chicken wire, getting their heads stuck in the holes in it. The owl would land and just walk along tearing heads off pheasants, and consuming them.
Im not sure what ever happened to the hatchery, but, the remains of the pens are still there, near the headquarters. I clearly remember walking along with my Dad, seeing dead pheasants, and the explanation the game warden gave us for what had happened to them.
Dad belonged to the generation that had no time for predators.
Best,
Ted

SRH Never known a dog that didn't eat grass from time to time just for the hell of it, esp. In the spring.

Of course I never knew the man, but already I like him. O.M
