There are 2 baby hawks in and out of our rear yard every day. It's all
wooded with ground shrubbery, so no problem. They are catching mostly
chipmunks :-) gray squirrels :-)
and occasionally a dove. :-( We have a total of around 12 to 16 hawks
that live in a 1/2 mile of our property, so sometimes we can see 3
different species within minutes of each other.
