That must have been a horrifying sight. I have seen a hawk or two around my house...and we did have an owl at one time too. Just the thought of it scares me. I think you would literally have to have a roof over the patio and closed in to feel 100% safe against predators. Even being outside in a fenced yard with Winston...I just never feel completely safe...from whatever lurks above.
I am so happy to hear your baby was safe inside...
