I love the sound, and we live with it pretty much every day as they roost in our fir trees while hunting. We’re up on a hill about a mile from the Willamette River and they seem to be able to see when snacks appear (no idea really, but they fly with purpose in that direction).

The really scary birds are the occasional Falcons that move so fast and so low I’m both startled and confused when they buzz the yard.
