Just last week I saw this one sitting in the park for nearly an hour enjoying the view:
Yesterday two baby hawks were arguing over a branch in the birch tree out front. Today I walked into my kitchen and saw a 'flash'. At first I thought that some danged deer had managed to penetrate Fort Hammond. Oh no, it was a hawk with lunch:
I am thinking he has caught a baby possum. That is perfectly fine with me. I wonder if he fancies raccoon?
Whilst on the trellis he/she was communicating with another hawk in the spruce tree:
They both ended up flying off, but not before Mr. Hunter left his unfinished lunch on the trellis. With every fly in a ten-mile radius descending, I threw the entrails over the fence. They can come back and finish it up later on.
Great pictures of these hawks!!! I love it even with the entrails hanging down (why am I think about haggis all of a sudden). It seems they will help with the mouse population but people better be careful with their pussy cats and little doggies
ReplyDeleteLove the hawk pix. They are wonderful birds. My sin-law loves to paint pictures of raptors of all kinds. Not very nice of Mr. Hunter to leave you the remains.
