I am hoping someone can give me some advice on attracting larger birds of prey. Due to problems with dizziness and falls I am no longer able to hike and camp. Not wanting to limit myself to staring at my neighbor’s cows I have undertaken to return the land surrounding my new home to a more natural state. Finding information on attracting smaller birds was not a problem but I have found very little practical advice on how to attract raptors.
Has anyone had any success attracting owls and hawks? I have a few large oaks that seem appropriate for the hawks to nest in and the neighboring fields appear to be prime hunting grounds. In addition, I have made the log barn accessible in hopes of attracting a barn owl. Unfortunately, it has been to no avail.
Having added the appropriate water supply and food source to attract prey animals I am at a loss as to what I should do next. Any advice would be very appreciated.
Thanks
