Quote:
The technique and the time it takes to kill prey varies greatly depending on the type of raptor and the size of the prey.

Hawks and other members of the Accipitridae family, (eagles, harriers, kites), use their talons to catch and subdue struggling prey, rather than to kill it quickly.

They'll sometimes squeeze the animal to the point of suffocation if it's small enough; but with bigger prey (like your rabbit) they land on top of it and stay on top of it until they've got it under control to avoid injuries or escape. They use their beaks to pluck fur or feathers from the animal, causing further trauma. Once they've done this, they'll begin to eat it while it's, however briefly, still alive.

The hawk in your yard was probably just starting the process of subduing the rabbit when you startled it.

Hawks have huge talons on their first and second toes. They use them to tear prey open while it holds on with the other shorter talons.

Working on some art tonight, slowly but making progress towards something I can list on my website for sale. Working on the two album reviews I do every two weeks. Got my chevy car stuff took care of and finished. Thinking of working out, making an effort into getting in shape. Just need to start. Going to upload another art piece to the website, it's not good at all but it's my art, I guess I am just not good enough. Going to eat some pineapples, english muffins, kind bars, and carrots.


posting 4 pieces of art on my facebook and website. feeling productive asf today

im not trying to talk **** but didn't you go to college for cnc machining? and now you''re trying to write essays and draw pictures for a living lol

like i said im not talking ****. i went to community colllege for IT with an emphasis on networking and specifically networking windows domains for businesses and configuring cisco routers/switches/etc. I was damn good at it too. but before i ever found a job in that field i was forced to get a job in the meantime and got a factory job which started me off on the pills, 12 hr shifts, etc. sorta forgot about IT ever since then.

made a few gestures towards trying to get an entry level position which i'm more than qualfied for. but it seems like the IT sector is particularly on that corporate mentality where they wont touch you if you have a background. so starting to think i'm done as far as climbing the corporate ladder is concerned. if i'm gonna earn I'm gonna have to find a different path. Like i know people set up sorta ad hoc businesses providing tech support to lower-tier clients and make a decent living at that.

Like I know my dad made his own way with his concrete coating business. it was a business based on making elaborate and attractive designs to paint on a driveway/pool deck etc. and He was all under the table. warned him time after time to go legit, but he was always too paranoid about the IRS. personally i think they would've let him be and regarded him as small potatoes.

but yea... if you did have any interest in machining im literally working a temp job now that prepares you to be a machine operator. you don't need any school. all you need to do is find the right tem,p agency. they're a dime a dozen.

My dad lost all of the money he made from his business because one of the pill popping workers he hired crashed into a van and killed a family.

A warning to never cut corners.
