I'm just terrified of them now! I wouldn't have even thought about one swooping down on my neighborhood sidewalk until this all happened a few months ago. So anyway, thanks for the info and sorry for the earlier mistake. I don't want to be causing anyone even more fear than they already might have regarding hawks!! |
That was my purpose. Yes you should watch out for the birds but to gain so much fear that you don't go outside will take all the fun play away.
We have Hawks,Owls and Coyote. I worry about the Coyote the most. They do get dogs and Cats in my area
