| Terror on my deck!!!!!! OMG!!!!! There were feathers everywhere!!! A large bird was killed on my deck, but by what!!!!!!! My husband thinks it was a hawk, or maybe a snake!!!! Prince and I were out there about 30 minutes before I saw the feathers with flesh attached!!!!!!! Our upper deck is about 10 feet above ground...it had to be a hawk.

No, I have never left Prince alone on the deck. I stated that he and I (together) were out there about 30 minutes before I saw the feathers. We have our lower deck enclosed and are going to Home Depot or Lowe's to see about getting a gazebo for the upper deck!!! That was really scary.

| A couple of years ago I went out on the deck in the early morning and saw tuffs of fur on the deck. Then I look across the yard and saw tuffs of fur all the across into the woods. Then I knew that that fur belonged to our 15 year old cat. He was a house cat that every once in awhile liked to go out on the deck. My 22 year old son had let the cat out when he came home a couple of hours before. I figured a coyote got him. We searched the woods but never found any trace of our kitty. It really upset me to think my kitty was some ugly coyote's breakfast. Whenever I take Piper out she is leashed and I still scan the woodline. I'm always afraid something is going to come out of the woods and scoop up Piper.

| It just makes us more aware that our furbabies are vulnerable for attacks like that. Really terrible.

| Oh I just hate those darn hawks. We have them too and I have made our backyard into a hawk repellent place by hanging windspinners everywhere. I read that birds of prey don't like moving things and it seems to work because I've not seen one since I "decorated" the yard. I also have hung old cds because they spin and shine in the sun and apparently hawks don't like that either. Darn hawks.
