I used to have the hawks sit on my fence and watch me and my babies out in the yard....you certainly can not let them run freely with hawks sitting around, watchinmg.......and YES! that hawk is watching your Peanut and is only waiting for the opportunity to make a meal of him! |
I think I'm going to try the fake Owl- see what happens. I haven't see my hawk in a couple days, so maybe she went somewhere else!!

Very scary! I was nervous before I started seeing this hawk, now I am just extra nervous! LOL
