When do falcons usually hunt? I'm kinda bummed out because i'm missing 2 pigeons already. I'm not 100% sure if they were snatched or scared away by a falcon. I did see one the day the first pigeon went missing. I saw it land on top of my roof where my birds usually hang out. I remember seeing...

This is pretty sweet how the pigeons escape most of the times. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bsu4UqT-Hyg

Just saw this ad on Craig's List selling rare colored homers and racers.... "...our breeding stock has been naturally culled by the training of falconry birds....hawk wise and capable of evading falcons..." God help the little ones who were NOT able to evade the falcons during their training...
