i captured video of a hawk eating an iguana as we were touring around vitet. the iguana had been crossing the road when the hawk scooped down and snatched it up. too bad i didn't have the camera rolling sooner.
disclaimer: it is NOT professional quality video!!

Missy,
I'm happy that you saw none, but come bike riding with me some morning. Happily, most of the rats I see are already roadkill.

since i don't leave the villa until almost 10:00am, i'm sure the roadkill has already been consumed and the live ones have gone back into hiding for the day. that is pretty disgusting, though!

See how this grabs Ya;
About 7-10 days ago our female cat brought in a mouse or small roof rat. My betrothed atempted to get the mouse from the cat only to have it run away from the both of them and into the toe kick space in the kitchen cabinets. Since that time neither my 2 cats nor Karen have been able to catch the critter and return him to his previously occupied domicile.
My suggestion in the beginning was to turn the matter over to me and I would get a couple of mouse traps and nail him. The animal rights activist in the household would have nothing to do with that strategy and has been attempting to catch said critter with Have-A Heart traps without sucess. Each morning the traps are empty and there are signs of our little vistor having been out and about in the we hours of the morning. The damn cats are useless in this endevor sleeping away the nights on the end of our bed!
Come Saturday we're gonna do this my way!

Try chunky peanut butter instead of cheese. I caught a mouse outside with it in a Havahart when I was aiming for a chipmunk. Also, they sell mouse traps that don't kill- it's enclosed and has glue inside.

Well, what do you think of this idea?
What if I cut of the food supply to my three mousers and see how long it takes them to get motivated in their task!
