KaHolly, isn't ...Eileen, thank you once again!<br /><br />KaHolly, isn't it funny how a hawk will pick a tree or a perch of some sort and sit there for hours on end! How nice you got to see them!<br /><br />Gaelyn, if a Cooper's, sharpie or Merlin comes around it has the same affect here but the Red-tailed hawks don't seem to scare the smaller birds off, though I have to admit that Grammie G may be right because I never see jays or doves when one is around! I have yet to see a red-tailed chase a bird however.<br /><br />Laurence and Maria, LOL! Come and visit!<br /><br />Jann, congratulations! Welcome to my blog! Thanks for stopping by!<br /><br />Grammie G, I think you are right about the red-squirrels and the jays and doves. I have never seen a red-tailed chasing any birds in my yard but I have noticed the bigger birds don't hang around when it is here.<br /><br />Sandy, hello! Smile! Yep!<br /><br />Julie, thanks!<br /><br />Larry, thanks! What fun, huh?<br /><br />Bella, as far as I am concerned, he can since they terrorize my feeders!

There was one in a tree out back here in TX the other day for over 5 hours! It must be a good tree for hawks, because a couple of days later, there was a Red-shouldered Hawk in the same spot!KaHollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02528677007819875856noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4773600389646021892.post-65650775138933744972012-02-03T17:20:20.002-05:002012-02-03T17:20:20.002-05:00Hi Kathie, you have some wonderful yard birds.
