While not noteworthy for the south a gathering of redtails has us in a spin in our area. We have never seen the number of redtails in our area ever 16 where seen in a 5 minute drive near the Hilliardton marsh last weekend. Perhaps this is due to what we think is a fair rodent population. This is purely anecdotal based on the number of people complaining of the need to set mouse traps in their homes in our area. I only note this is contrast to earlier reports of a rodent crash in the north as part of the finch forecast. So for now we will enjoy the redtails that we normally see very sporadically in our area.
