On a walk around Baisley Pond Park’s eponymous pond in Queens recently I heard a Gray Squirrel chittering away angrily at something. Tired of White-throated Sparrows and American Robins , I decided to stroll over and see what the squirrel was so upset about. But the hawk would not give the squirrel long to rest.

If you ever wonder why so many American birders leaven their love of nature with a little self-loathing, look no further than the National Survey of Fishing, Hunting, and Wildlife-Associated Recreation , which the U.S. We sustain squirrel populations from coast to coast. Fish and Wildlife Service conducts every five years or so.

am, at the crack of dawn I am sitting in a car by the Suslik (European ground squirrel) pasture. Actually, I am not waiting for them, but for the Eastern Imperial Eagle to come here to hunt Susliks – an eagle from one of the last two remaining nests in Serbia. Some are eating, holding a morsel with front paws, so squirrel-like.

Yet, one other hunting attempt in the same area I do remember. The next memorable hunt came from winter 2006/07. This endearing ground squirrel is the preferred prey of a resident pair of Imperial Eagles … Within twenty minutes, a Goshawk, a Black Kite and two Honey Buzzards passed over. And, now, at eBird.

I viewed them at dusk, through a telescope, from a ridge overlooking the area they were hunting. I’ve yet to see an English pine marten, but I once watched one hunting red squirrels in the Bialowieza Forest in Poland. My only wolf sightings have been in Spain, in December, and at great range.

And squirrels. Aggravatingly, many squirrels. How to choose bird feeders; how to make nutritious bird food; how to create a backyard environment that will attract birds; how to survey your feeder birds for citizen science projects; how to prevent squirrels from gobbling up all your black oil sunflower seed (sorry, none of that works).

I’ve noted at least nine species of reptiles and amphibians, even our native opossum and squirrel. At night, we keep our eyes out for the passage of the neighborhood Barn Owl , oftentimes a Tropical Screech-Owl would hunt insects from a low perch on our almond tree. Of course, various species of bats as well.
