For Cable or DSL The Hawk at the Window. Seems as if a hawk of some description, perhaps a Red Shouldered , makes regular visits to the place where song birds accumulate, and the picking is easy. The thought is not pretty as one may always feel the pain of the victim. It is the way of nature though and the way it has to be, unless of course there is such a thing as a vegetarian Raptor. This short video gives a perspective of a few minutes that this Hawk and myself shared one January Morning. |
