Either one could make a meal of your baby. We have tons of hawks and turkey vultures around me - way in the suburbs of NYC. Whenever there's a downed squirrel, you bet the big birds are picking at it.
We saw a dead squirrel in the road one time while walking Lucy. As we passed by, my daughter observed the big bird sitting on the roof edge of a neighbor's house. It was just waiting for us to pass by so that it could pick up its lunch.
I wouldn't leave Lucy in my yard or even on my enclosed back deck without a human with her. Scares me to death. |
