 Hawks in my Yard
Okay I am getting mad! I live semi in a country like area. I have 2 acres fenced in and my two Yorkies love to run in the yard. I never let them out without me with them. Some days it is hard to catch them or round them up to come in. But I never leave the yard before I have them in. This past Friday it was so nice here almost 70 and I got off work early to go home and let them go outside to enjoy some nice FL weather finally. I took them out and they actually stayed around me unlike the running they normally do. All a of a sudden I seen the shawdow of a large bird flying over and my first thought was please don't run. Luckly they were right at my feet and I reached down and grabbed them and took them to the porch and shut door. I come back outside to look around to see what kind of bird it was and it was a hawk. He stayed across street in the tree and watch all three of us (like a hawk, LOL). I went back on porch and sat there watching him and soon there were other birds in my yard (cow birds is what I call them) big white field birds that hand out in pastures, the hawk swooped down on them and then moved to another tree in my yard. I went outside to get some rocks and throw at it and flew off to another tree behind me so I went back to the porch. Shortly I started hearing him swaking on my back fence. I ran back there to run him off and he flew away again. He is not gone. He has been on my fence everyday, so now I will not let my two out. I am so afraid but yet mad cause I cannot let them go out side and run like they like to do.
Does anyone else have this problem and what can I do? |
