[QUOTE="TheLBLman, post: 4770851, member: 1409"] Unfortunately, Good nesting success does not equate to good poult recruitment. This statement seems much more true today than a few decades ago? Can't tell you how many times I've seen a hen with 8 or 10 chicks a few days old, only to see her a couple weeks later with 3 chicks. Then later, see 3 adult hens with 3 chicks between them. Young poults, even after they can fly, even after several weeks of age, can still be easy prey for Cooper's hawks, redtails, coyotes, and bobcats. And too often, even house cats and dogs. [/QUOTE]
