Raptor Wednesday

When the park garbage was piled up on the other end, we used to see Red-tails perched overhead a lot. This summer, the park garbage was piled up at our end, encouraging people to illegally dump stuff into the pile. The rats had an orgy in the resulting chaos.

After months of complaints, a battery explosion, and media attention, the area was cleaned up. The rats, however, are still around.

So now, Red-tails are often seen right across the street…

…hunting.
