Just a head's-up, just because you are standing there don't plan on that deterring the hawk from grabbing your little ones. My DD and I were outside with my chickens, close enough to pet them, when a redtail swooped down and grabbed one - right between two humans.
My little dogs are now stuck in a covered, fenced-in area to potty and even then, I have seen a young hawk sitting on the gate less than 10 feet from where I was sitting - (in the covered run!) just staring at my little dogs. |
