(Check out Part 1 here) (Check out Part 2 here) This hawk was a fierce hunter. She ate everything from Rock Pigeons to caterpillars, earthworms to Brewer’s Blackbirds, but her staple diet consisted of plump, toothy, charismatic, and abundant Pocket Gophers. Patch was focused and deliberate, consistent and inventive.
It is also clear on their website, which has a tab for “hunting” ) But, to their great credit, they clearly appreciate that North American hunters will have no waterfowl to hunt if they do not fight to preserve wetlands — not only in the U.S. Bronzed Cowbirds may look like those Brewer’s Blackbirds.
So though I visited Lynford, I didn’t see a Hawfinch on this occasion as I wasn’t there at the right time, though I did meet a number of hopeful Hawfinch hunters (HHHs), none of whom reported a sighting.

Much of this public refuge is accessible via well maintained dirt roads, and provides several camping areas, as well as many day use areas.
Barn Swallows are a bit unhappy with their image as restless aerial hunters and would like to gain a more stately and dignified profile.
