My husband thinks perhaps the hawk was getting a little too close to the smaller birds' nest. I see this frequently, and am never sure what's going on, because, as Wayne said, the bigger birds never seem to care. As if they could turn and snatch the smaller bird up for dinner in an instant, if it felt like bothering. Kind of like a cat being annoyed by a small child or a small dog.Beckyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15100023167123234673noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5839954687127651900.post-27415360086417992802009-06-09T11:08:12.538-06:002009-06-09T11:08:12.538-06:00I don't know one hawk from another.
