That led to a decline in bobcats until the resurgence of wild turkeys. The bobcats have perfect skills to be turkey hunters and have made a comeback themselves. Note the recent runs on cranberry sauce.

I don't ever recall seeing red tail hawks growing up but now I see them everywhere. One summer we had a family of them living near us and we didn't see a chipmunk that whole summer. I'm sure they are just an appetizer to the bunny main course
