Husband M was able to snap this photo of a hawk in our backyard last week. He apparently was holding onto a bird. Soon after he took off with it in his claws. It was not fun to view this predatory behaviour. It's the first I have seen one actually land in our backyard.
Well, they have to eat too..but sure not in your backyard.
ReplyDeleteThey need to eat, but sometimes it's hard to watch it! Hugs, Valerie
ReplyDeleteThe bird comes close to Christine.
ReplyDeleteSo creepy! 👀
ReplyDeleteNature... we all have to eat!
ReplyDeleteOh..Wow..we have them in our neighborhood too..and one was in our backyard. Yes, it is interesting to see how nature is moving in to urban areas. We have deer, skunks and even fox and coyote and I live behind Krispy Kreme. Maybe its the donuts they are after. Thanks so much for sharing this.
ReplyDeleteLaw of nature !
ReplyDeleteCoopers hawk ?
ReplyDeleteI have no idea!
DeleteI see them around our house and I'm always fearful one will try to grab Lillie. :(
ReplyDeleteNature!
Hawks are magnificent birds but I sure wish they were vegetarians.
ReplyDeleteInteresting. Never seen one that close before.
ReplyDeleteI've seen one do it to a rat
ReplyDeleteIt's nature!
ReplyDeleteThey need to eat!
All the best Jan
looks like a red tail getting dinner 😀
ReplyDeletered tail sounds good.
DeleteNo, I don't care to see that part of the food chain taking place at all but to watch a hawk sore and fly can be beautiful.
ReplyDeleteHe did soar away so fast and it was beautiful, I just didn't have time to notice what was in his claws.
DeleteNature isn't always beautiful.
ReplyDeleteCoffee is on and stay safe
Uy bello halcón ellos tienen que vivir al igual que uno. Te mando un beso
ReplyDeleteWow, weird! Though the hawk does it to survive, so we can't really blame him. 🤷♀️
ReplyDeleteNature can be so disturbing at times.
ReplyDeletelaws of nature are ruthless but divine indeed
ReplyDeletethis must be exciting ,i never saw one from close
