Bird feeders should also be hung so that "incoming birds"
cannot be targeted by Hawks. I lost a bushy tree nearby recently and it wasn't long before a speedy Northern Harrier crushed a Tufted Titmouse to the ground.
This season, having seen Northern Harriers whizzing past, I've kept my bird feeder empty.
It's only been 3 years since I gently bumped "Baby" on Forest Road, only a few hundred feet from North Main Street in Wolfeboro.
