Back

Don't think I don't see you.

I was looking out the backdoor and saw this red-shouldered hawk (Buteo lineatus) sitting on a limb overlooking my bird feeders. Gives a new meaning for bird feeders doesn't it? Anyway, I grabbed my camera and started snapping, the hawk flew away, and I realized that there was no SD card in my camera. I corrected that, then Charlie and I sat outside for a few minutes. The hawk came back, something I hoped for but didn't really expect to happen. Funny thing, there were pigeons on the roof of my small garage, they didn't budge. Maybe they know the hawk can't catch them.

"Although the American Crow often mobs the Red-shouldered Hawk, sometimes the relationship is not so one-sided. They may chase each other and try to steal food from each other. They may also both attack a Great Horned Owl and join forces to chase the owl out of the hawk's territory." - allaboutbirds.org
