This just happened to a friend who has a maltese - she found out her neighbors had placed a new bird feeder high up on their deck - it was attracting the hawk - perhaps you could see if something has changed in your neighborhood that is attracting the hawk. My friend talked to her neighbors - because they also have cats they lent out to sun themselves. They took the feeder down.
Also, you may want to contact a local wildlife expert or bird place near you. My friend also contacted a store that specializes in selling bird feeders, seed, etc. - and they told her that the hawk she described is not the kind that preys on other animals - can't remember the 2 kinds they said it might be |
