qmc,I have the same thing happening here a couple of times a day in the winter and I am surrounded by houses.
The one Hawk that comes most often is out to get my Pigeons or Doves,does not bother with the small stuff,my Gracklers have all gone south.
I know right away when he's here,the Squirrles freeze in place and all the birds are hiding in the cedar-hedge.
Usually the Crows are a good warning,they scare the Hawks away.

I don't scare away the Hawks,I think they are beautiful and although it's sad they kill other birds,they do so to survive.
I've seen one large Hawk catch a Pigeon in flight:sad:
