Powerful in the air and on the ground.


This hawk swooped down this morning and grabbed one of our birds.
We don't know which one and perhaps it was a squirrel....hope so.
He stood there eating it, unafraid of anything in HIS world and looked around..just to be sure.
Unfortunately my dog saw him and IMMEDIATELY made a run for him and the hawk took off...dinner in the mouth.
NOW unfortunately all the birds are terrified and I wonder how long the effect of this predator will last at our feeders.
Sadly, I suppose perhaps we unwittingly played into the hawk's hands ( talons ) but providing a place where HIS prey congregate.
Nothing to do...nature will have it's way.
If anyone knows from the picture what kind of hawk this is please write it on the page.

  1. Not a clue, but he does look hungry...we had one do that before at our feeders, but he didn't get one, but I got one heck of an image
