A flock of small birds at the dyke, Yellowhammers mostly… I cannot see well because of one enthusiastic hunting dog which takes pleasure in running through the snow and flushing them up whenever the birds land. In this light, all beaks are dark! We counted more than 35 of them, relaxed and fearless, clearly not hunted.

They are often seen on the ground since their prey consists mainly of rabbit, prairie dog and, you guessed it, ground squirrel. For the past five years I have been fortunate to have a Ferruginous Hawk wintering near a farm in a grassland area below the foothills where I live. And this is what the dark morph looks like.

And there are towns where packs of dogs are roaming about and keeping people indoors. It's farm country and you have a lot of farmers and ag types who treat companion animals as little better than livestock. Lots of "guard dogs" outdoors for their entire lives, etc. And of course, let's not discuss factory farms down there.

There’s just one thing: where to leave your cat(s) and dog(s)? For dogs, look for a kennel that offers multiple walks a day plus play time (you may have to pay extra for some of these features). For cats, there needs to be a space separate from the dogs that provides ample room for them to move around. Board with a Vet or Farm.
