Thanks. I read the article. It was very informative. I had read lots and called the raptor group here. She was aware of the increase in the number of red tailed hawks in my area. We also have an owl who lives near the river. She suggested short leads for each dog. Yes, that is safest, but I feel so badly having fenced in an acre for them to enjoy, to limit them to six feet.
Our yard is clear so a great visual field. Behind us are acres of green space which is protected. We thought of a covered area, but how? Pergola?
We will get a few scarecrows. I can't use a shotgun in this area. We carry the horn and/or whistle. I just hoped someone had a "magic" cure.
Again thanks.
