Apparently the problem in residential areas is that there are not enough rodents and small game to keep these big birds fed. Too bad someone can't give them a road map to the mountains.

While we do live in a type of wilderness no one takes chances here. I think we have just lived with the situation for so long that it is natural for us not to let the small animals out without being on a short leash. If I lived in a residential area and could not even let my little dog out for a few minutes into a fenced yard I I would be quite upset about the situation.
