Ok Woody,I'll be there soon..I need a mate for my lonely crow
As for Hawks,I get a natural high when I see them soaring in the sky amazingly beautiful!!!
I have a couple coming almost daily, one smaller,I think a Coopers Hawk and they usually sit in my tall tree waiting for any movement,,,
and as you say,it looks brutal when they get a little bird or a mourning-dove,as I saw just last week.But it is natures way,at least they are not being shot for a feather in someones cap.
