Something odd happened on April 8. I accidentally left the door of the chicken coop open overnight, and when I went out to check on the chickens, I found all 32 of them missing. There were black feathers everywhere, but only a few of our chickens were black. A few days later, my dad found a hole that had been dug in our garden that had yellow feathers in it. Our theory is that a fox the chickens, and buried one there to dig up later. But how could a fox take 32 chickens in one night? I've never heard of them hunting in groups, though they are dogs.

While vacationing in Weeki Wachee Florida on the canal next to the Weeki Wachee River, we saw nesting pair of bald eagles 200 yards away. We heard there are several pairs of nesting eagles here. Went to Bayport beach park and bald eagle landed in pine tree above my head about 15 feet up. Watched it for several mins until it flew off. Thought it was probably one of our pair, the range was right. Yesterday evening an owl flew into tree next to our upper deck, then down to small fence and pounced on a lizard. Enjoyed his meal. This morning saw a female manatee and her calf slowly swimming and playing. Blue Her on visits every day. All kinds of fishing birds. Just a great place to observe nature. Momma eagle is soaring thru sky and mate is on top of towering tree near by right now. Binoculars are a must.
