I have a silent killer stalking my backyard, attacking my birds, mainly dove….This killer leaves only feathers….no bones….A hawk, a roadrunner or a cat is about what I have narrowed it down to.. I think a hawk would leave the bones and I think the same for a roadrunner…But most house cats would play with the bird, wouldn’t they?…Do you folks have any ideas…Is there something else that eats birds?…I don’t own a cat and I don’t see many in the neighborhood, but I have seen some…If you have a idea, leave me a comment…thanks, Pete

 Our tour guide….He crawled all over the side of the cliffs of the canyon and seemed to be begging for food. We had been warned that most of the injuries around the canyon were treatment for squirrel bites…This little guy felt he owned the place, well, I guess he does as he lives there. I will be posting stuff on the Grand Canyon and Glen Canyon Dam in the next few days.  The Glen Canyon Dam, upstream from the Grand Canyon has done much to stop the erosion of the the canyon by further taming of the Colorado River. We met a couple from Virginia and he said he was not impressed, that it was just a big hole in the ground. I was very disappointed to hear a comment like that because I had never seen such colors anywhere, colors that changed while you watched. I saw a rain storm over the river while the sun was shining on the canyon walls on either side of the rain storm, a vast panorama that was simply breathtaking to me….The person from Virginia may have vision problems….The Grand Canyon is GRAND…..click on the picture to increase the size…..Pete
