The birds get very quiet when there is a raptor around. I always say he has to eat too but I wish they wouldn't eat the birds.Jeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13800999516616856785noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9081468613531112998.post-75365473130248794172013-01-23T20:41:37.047-08:002013-01-23T20:41:37.047-08:00Great picture!

I know they prey upon smaller birds, but he may have been waiting for a mouse or rat that might have been planning a birdseed feast. Or maybe he just wanted to relax on your wicker chair. Glad the other birds noticed him before flying down to eat. My neighbor warned me of a hawk in our neighborhood circling her little Pomeranian. I don't know if a hawk could keep hold of a snarling, biting Pom or not, but Fuzzy and I don't want to find out from experience.susie @ persimmon moon cottagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01653330247272673990noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9081468613531112998.post-55958766488172928372013-01-23T17:41:39.348-08:002013-01-23T17:41:39.348-08:00Love your header:) I am happy to hear that the li...Love your header:) I am happy to hear that the little tasty birds are smart enough to stay away while the big guy is trying to eat them!

What a gorgeous hawk! I love all birds, including the raptors. Where I live in Virginia, I see all kinds of hawks and bald eagles. They're amazing, intelligent birds. It is sad when they prey on other birds, but I believe in the circle of life and love nature. I look forward to visiting again!Gennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10695642340244699402noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9081468613531112998.post-19702600366863663962013-01-23T15:47:25.000-08:002013-01-23T15:47:25.000-08:00How bold of him...I remember when my cocker spanie...How bold of him...I remember when my cocker spaniel was just a puppy, about five pounds, a hawk came out of the sky after her.

I only have the small barn birds, a chipmunk or two and odd squirrell over the winter, however, I notice the hawks n such circling up the street twice a day, hoping to make a catch on their run. Know that you and your family will remain in my prayers and wishes for calm days and precious miracles to continue. lol<br />p.s.
