Someone is watching

We noticed a large flock of crows watching us pick berries a couple of weeks ago.  In order to save the berries from the impending attack a fake owl was purchased and placed in the middle of the field.  It scared the crows away, but we started to notice a lot of bushes with broken branches and no obvious signs of deer or other animal in there, nor were any of the berries on the broken bushes eaten. A mystery.  Until today.  The husband visited the field this morning and found a hawk tangled in one of the bushes.  Now hawks don't really care much for blueberries, but they care even less for Owls, fake or real.  The feathery fella, in attempt to scare off the fake Owl, was smashing into the bushes.  Mr  Owl is now located in the backseat of the truck.  Maybe he can hang out in the backyard and keep the geese from eating the new grass we just planted.
