Now I can see what people mean when they say you have the eyes of a hawk. He will be able to catch the slightst movement and be able to act on it so that he can feed himself and his family.
Yes that is a beautiful hawk. I love watching the Red Tails sore about during the summer. But I to do not like to see them show up in my yard. Especially for the birds sake. Carolyn you are so right about being hard on chickens. When we did have chicken I kept them in a 6ft. high fenced in area. The fence was buried 2ft in the ground to keep those digging critters away from my chicky girls. But alas my fence was open on top. One day when we where gone a hawk flew in. Stuff like that always happens when one is gone. Attacked the chickens leaving a half eaten carcass from the one it did catch, and scratches on another ones shoulders it tried to catch. Poor girls where so scared after that, that they hide in their coop for 2wks. During that time they would only come out when I was there. Poor girls.
