Neat Red Shouldered Hawk Millie! I get hawks in winter.. They come by for feeder bird snacks almost daily then. The sparrows have a drill they do, even when the hawks aren't around. One flies into the rosebush, and they all swoop in with it. A few minutes later, they all go back to the feeder and the ground to eat again. They do this many times throughout each day, however when it is a real drill they chirp like mad, and it is very distressing. That's when I look out and invariably see a huge hawk on the fence peering intently into the rosebush.

This clutzy Sharp-shinned got so brave, thought he could land on the hanging feeder.... He never tried that again, LOL! I do love the hawks.
