Actually humans aren't that much of a deterrent. We have hawks and vultures and the occasional eagle. I never ever let Zeke out alone. Not even on the deck.
A few days ago while walking Zeke a hawk started circling us and was getting fairly close so I picked up Zeke and the hawk came even closer so I started waving my free arm in the air and finally he backed away. Hawks are not to be played with. I always have Zeke on a leash and whenever I see them circling I keep Zeke very close. |
