Hunting and hunted

I've heard hawks crying out to each other the past few days. They most likely have young ones
to feed.

 Also, have been going out into the yard when my 10 lb mini dachshund needs to take
care of business. This morning the hawk (not the one in the photo but it looked like that) swooped
down into the open space just as Opie ran into the open. I was able to deflect it but
am now a bit unnerved!

She's been flying over the house the past few hours calling her distinctive cry. The intense heat here probably has the small animals hiding out in cool holes so she must
be very hungry. Will be keeping a close eye out for her.

So that's why I haven't seen many birds in the yard lately!

  1. Heavens what a thing to see! Could you leave food for her..........tho guess it would need to be live, so maybe not!
    Poor Opie and poor you too ~

  2. We'll just have to be right with Opie for the next week or so
    until the hawks move on. They're probably feeding hungry young ones so need more food. Take care!
