Feeding on the ground has its hazards. Over at the Arboretum near the
North Entrance to Broadmoor, I remember seeing a few rats that were
helping themselves to the bread offerings that the duck feeding people
had brought. On the otherhand that might be attractive to the great
horned owls that have run out of housecats.
