casey_nfld, I've never seen crab traps before..... my mind goes blank.... ok. I was making a basket, so 'cat trap'. :) grrr.... this shows for me on preview, but when I post it GW edits the URL and breaks the link! If the photo doesn't show this time, I'm giving up.

Karen... That falcon has been hurt...either shot with buckshot; attacked by another falcon/predator or flew into something impenetrable. From the pattern of blood spots on his breast...I'd probably opt for buckshot. Breaks my heart to see a bird in this condition but falcons and hawks aren't always appreciated by farmers and the like. In any case...if you frequent the area where you took this photo...keep your eyes open. Depending upon what caused his wounds...he may become unable to fend for himself...becoming more visible than is healthy for him [or perhaps dying] until any missing wing feathers fill in. I, personally, would love any follow-up you might get regarding him. They're such beautiful birds. Anne

Tony has never caught one. Our lanai has vinyl and screens. He jumps and tries to grab the lizards, but cannot get through the vinyl and screen. Still, the idea is in his head that it might be something new to play with other than his toy mice!

This is our "trace to 1/2 inch of snow" that was forecast for overnight .
