- No, no peregrines in my central North Carolina, wooded, yard. A couple
- of years back, however, I did have a red shouldered hawk who hung around
- the back yard. He/she was often sitting only a few feet above the
- ground and quite close to the house. The reason for all this was
- apparently that he/she took a rather different view of the value of a
- platform feeder. A bird feeder, but at a different trophic level.
- Never saw the hawk make a successful strike, but evidence indicated a
- mourning dove or two were a bit slow when I was not around to protect
- them.
