We have several hawks in the area, and a bobcat, so numbers will no doubt decrease.

I love all the critters we have here in FLA. Squirrels are the cutest! They are pretty fast though and can out run a hawk if they are vigilant. Hawks have better luck picking up bunnies. Haven't seen too many rabbits here in TV though...
