Description
This hawk has become a pest to me he is always after them sitting above the feeder trying to nab them so after grabbing a pick i go out and run him off be he always returns so a very smart hawk he is.

Very cool shot Mother Nature at work
wonderful shot
Nice shot Brandy. Trouble is they don't discriminate, any bird will do!
Awesome bird & a great shot.
He's a nice looking bird, but as you said- he's smart!
Lovely pic.
Beautiful capture!!
Ah mother nature...all part of the circle of life I suppose... Fantastic capture of the little bugger. LOL
He is gorgeous, but they do like to hang around close to feeders. :)))) Very smart he is. :)))) Most excellent capture my friend. :))))) Thank you for sharing all of the beauty you see. :)))))) Carry A Smile In Your Heart :)))))
Excellent capture! :) All you can do is take the feeder down for awhile and hope it goes and finds another spot to hunt.
did you see the video from Alaska where a lady's two cats are more or less playing with 3 eagles and a very young fox?it was so strange seeing the eagles not grabbing the cats for food I would love to get this close to a hawk. they fly over my house daily but never land.outstanding capture
wow it is fascinating!!!
Great capture of this beautiful Raptor!!
cool capture
We were watching the sparrow hawks today during the countryside run to the vets, they are always on the go looking for food, such a shame that he has to prey on those you try to feed. Great shot, thanks for sharing hugs Jane xx
WOW...Marvelous shot friend, very impressive bird, amazing lighting!
amazing capture!
Great pic Hugs Susan~
They are indeed very clever and smart! Andrea is right though... they have to do what they gotta in order to survive. Survival of the fittest is so very real and true! A great capture of this lovely hawk! He looks so focused and concentrated!
A beautiful shot and lovely markings on the Hawk!
Hopefully he is on a migratory route and will only be around for a short while.
Ironically you have created the problem by having a feeder, and I have done the same thing myself. You could try putting the feeder in a different location for a while. someplace a bit more open so the little guys have that extra moment of warning and can escape.
Yes, whaleman has the right idea.. The problem is a 'man made' thing.. Happens here, then people moan that Hawks take the small birds that are sitting targets and not doing what they normally do.. SO, get two feeders OR more, the more the better! Confuse the Hawk, they are VERY territorial, you will only get one at a time! Don't worry.. But remember, if you kill it, another will take up the territory.. Killing does not work.. Nature finds a way... So more tables or none.. Great shot by the way.. Hope I've helped? Rob
beautiful!
Beautiful bird and great capture! I think Wayne and Rob are right.Give the little birds a chance and let the hawk alone. He is doing what it should do, because he was made for that!
