I seem to have lost a feral rooster.

Yesterday noon

Only two came ``home'' from their westward food
expedition, and there are only two this morning

Either one moved out under pressure of fighting,
or a predator got one. I'm surprised hawks
haven't gotten them all, in fact. But hawks don't
seem very interested, focussing instead on
songbirds, even when a rooster is in plain view.

No blood on either of the two that came back for
the night, so it wasn't a fight, I don't think.
