........home, please!
hawk arrived in an oak tree in the back garden.
It was carrying a grey squirrel in its talons.
My neighbor called us after it flew low over
her deck and perched on the lowest
large branch.
I'm going to confess............I stood out
there for at least an hour, craning my neck,
and taking numerous useless shots with
two different cameras,
in terrible light conditions - all of
which I deleted later. Then thankfully
the bird flew off.....and I headed in for
a much-needed cup of tea!
Our neighbors have a sweet tiny chihuahua - we
don't want her mistaken for a squirrel!
don't want her mistaken for a squirrel!
When I stepped out on my deck the next morning,
lo and behold, the hawk was back enjoying
breakfast in the sunshine, finishing up
the same squirrel. Picture-taking was a bit
easier with the brighter light.........but the
darned mosquitoes made a meal of my elbows!
Above, a small but feisty Catbird kept dive bombing
the large hawk making quite a ruckus.
These beautiful hawks are prevalent across the
country, you see them circling in the skies
just about everywhere. If you would enjoy knowing
more about them go here.
