So, I was putting some seeds in my front yard for the wild birds and this hawk swooped down grabbed one and flew off instantly. The other birds flew away in a synchronized fashion. I know it's the circle of life and all, but damn go prey on the birds from someone else's yard!!
You killed the birds by giving them food without trying and making them get it in an exposed environment.
I am seeing more and more hawks lately. They are everywhere now. I was having the family over in the backyard for Mother's Day earlier this year and one swooped down, grabbed a squirrel out of a tree and flew off. Happy Mother's Day!
I remember seeing a red tailed hawk snatch a kitten near a factory. Pretty awesome site. I'd like to get into falconry but I have heard it costs a pretty penny and is very tightly regulated on both state and federal levels.
Hawks are amazing creatures. There is a small lake behind our house surround by fields and trees. About once or twice a month the city comes through to bushhog the fields. The hawks learned to come and wait for the bushhogs to flush the mice and rabbits. They wait on a tree or highwire waiting to catch them like fish in a barrel. An amazing thing to watch.
I actually think I seen one a few days ago while I was out on my bike getting some exercise in. The thing few over the top of me for a little while like I was it's next prey or like it was trying to pooh on me.
This bird is sitting beside me in the library and farting for everyone to hear, everyones acting like it didn't even happen. Life goes on.

This reminds me of what the Packers did to the Cowboys last night. Or what every receiver we've faced has done to Kareem Jackson all year.
