Laurie, I know what you mean and I have told my daughter about all the hawks around here and she always thinks I am so paranoid and worry about everything. Now, I gotta ride my husband to get working on the outdoor cage! When I lived in Chicago I put one of my turtles in our birdbath and turned my back and there was a Crow flying off with it. I have never forgotten that! I am so glad that my Romeo is safe and sound!!!
