I am afraid that although Mr. Hawk is beautiful to look at, he is not my friend. He takes all our small and not so small birds. We had a friendly blackbird who stayed around our garden for years, but when we came back from a cruise in May we found only a skeleton and feathers.
Angel Madi you are welcoming in October with a fantastically colorful header this morning. We love seeing you sitting on the hay bale. And who wouldn't love to see that Hawk up close and personal. We were lucky enough to have a pair of red-shouldered hawks nest in the property behind us this spring and boy were they all noisy.
lookin my tee gorgeouz ther madi…a happee oct toe burrz two ewe ….and…seemz like eye am for gettin sum thin elze with thiz post….oh well πΊπππ‼️
Love, love, love the new header! Despite the heat, the humidity and Hurricane Helene it makes me smile and I can feel October in your header! I am happy the hawks lunch plans were spoiled. No matter the whole thing about "everyBODY needs to eat" I just can't rationalize or wrap my head around the hawks menu of our beautiful birds. Can't he find a snake?
What a great shot C!! Harlan's son, Harry has been hanging out WAY too much at our fountain lately, hoping for a quick meal he is keeping most of the birds away :-(....I wish he would practice hunting by chasing the silly squirrel family away instead! hugs! Beth
Nice photos. We see a lot of hawks around here, but we hope they aren't stealing any of the small kitties and pups around. We don't know what kind they are but they like to sit way up high on the light poles.
We have a lot of hawks around here and the squirrels, chipmunks, and other birds make sure when they hear that HAWK-SCREECH they run for cover. They are beautiful birds but even Teddy does not like to hear that sound.
Please leave a meow or bark for Angel Madi...her assistant (aka Mom) will respond in a timely fashion. =^..^= Life is short, spend it with those who make you laugh “Worry never robs tomorrow of its sorrow, it only saps today of its joy.” (Leo F.

Dearest Cecilia,
ReplyDeleteThey indeed hunt with a very loud and shrill voice!
Hugs,

ReplyDeleteAwesome photos. That's good advice you gave him. But will he listen?
ReplyDeleteWe're glad that the hawk's lunch plans didn't work out that time but we know he'll try again. Somehow I'm not sure he'll listen to your great advice!
ReplyDeleteOn the other paw, maybe he wanted to be in the limelight?

ReplyDeleteLast week one was screeching as a murder of crows was running it off from hunting.

ReplyDeleteExcellent shot, Miss C! YAM xx
Oooh! He's a handsome one! Maybe he's ready for a lady friend?

ReplyDeleteGood capture! He'll learn or he'll starve. Nature often seems cruel, but life feeds on life.
ReplyDeleteHappy October 1st! π
What a beautiful bird. You're right about announcing his presence. He will learn or he'll be hungry. Well done.
ReplyDeleteThank you for joining the Happy Tuesday Blog Hop.
Have a fabulous Happy Tuesday. Love and hugs, my friend. ♥

Nice photos and I love the header. XO
ReplyDeleteThat hawk with the piercing squeal must mean he is Hawkeye Pierce!

That sure is a big hawk. How lucky that you got such a close view of him.
