Seven Hectares of Heaven

10,000 Birds

So my birding buddy who is a botany professor lives on his family’s seven hectares (17 acres), a mere ten minutes’ drive from my house. It’s a wonderful piece of property, with a waterway running east-west down the middle. The south-facing slope was once used to grow corn and graze cattle, but now sports three ecological homes, and is beginning a process of reforestation.

Dead animals in yard

Reddit Animals

Not sure if this is the right place to ask, but this past week I have discovered in total five dead shrew moles and a dead bird in my yard. Two of the shrews and the bird were attacked by something because they had injuries and blood on them, and the other three shrews had no injuries. At first I suspected that it were the stray cats' doing. I've heard stories about cats killing small animals for fun, although I don't know much about them because I've never had a cat myself.
