Default RE: HOW TO PREVENT BIRD SHOT DOWNS?

Don't feed the glider mice so the hawk doesn't see it as competion???!!

We had a hawk visit d=uring a fun fly a couple of years ago. It was a bit breazy and the most wouldn't fly. The hawk flew across the end of the runway dropped down to arounf 10' of the deck and stared circling. 10 minutes later he was an 1/8 mile away from the field and to high to see!
We had definately been schooled[8D]
A flock of white pelicans migrated past our field and one of the guys started up after 'em the rest of the guys BOOed him out of that idea pretty quick. Several guys got rather testy that he would even consider chasing birds.
