Ohhh yehhh....
The hawks are eating mine all the time it seems..They go right in, have supper or breakfast(just the breast after the first couple of kills) and leave.My bird population goes up and down,...At one time i had 85.....then another time i was down to 13...I think the population of hawks seem larger than before as the ranchers are grubbing the land around here for miles and miles...Also, the civilisation is encroaching more and more every year.
 I need to get more birds though to break down the genetic line some...to bad you'r not closer or I'd trade some with you.
your friend,
john
