Wild hawk brings nature drama to suburbia

A hawk swooping into a suburban backyard and taking out a chicken is a reminder that wildlife is adapting fast to our neighborhoods. While it’s tough for backyard farmers, it’s also a sign that raptors and other predators are rebounding as we make our yards more inviting with native plants and less turf. These birds aren’t just cool to spot—they’re also vital for keeping local ecosystems healthy. Have you noticed more wildlife in your area lately? What’s your take on rewilding your yard versus keeping it classic? #Science #wildlife #backyardbirds
