I just logged in to search on hawks--wondered if I was being overly cautious. From the other posts, I see my concerns are true.

I live in the country in NE Oklahoma. A Yorkie breeder warned me before I got my puppy about hawks and owls. She told me about a chiquaqua that she knew of that had been carried off by a hawk in Tulsa--in town! She thought a yard with lots of trees would be safer because the hawk couldn't swoop down so quickly. Even so, I always have my Yorkie on a leash with a harness when we go outside. (Sad, that he can't just run around the yard.) Yesterday I did see a hawk come and circle over us lower than I usually see them. I see another poster had the same experience.

Thanks to the poster re bright pink and orange being colors that hawks would avoid (makes sense--since it wouldn't look like natural prey). Guess I'll make Stoney a vest in hunter's orange.
