OK I’m the Op and must speak up.

First the shotgun comment was hyperbole. Some here really thought I would take a shotgun to a hawk???! Some of the comments re that were off the top laughable. And the many comments in how to buy a gun, and not. Jeez…

For the guy that said if I move to TV it better not be near him. I am in TV and I feel the same.

And the continual slam re bird feeder etc etc. it is in front of our home and the birdhouses in back.

Some of my OP comment was tongue-in-cheek, but I guess I need to point that out when posting.

As for some of the nasty comments, easy from behind a keyboard. One needs thick skin at times when opening a Thread.

Bottom line, never saw a hawk since and the little birdies are happily feeding out front and starting and caring for their new broods in back. Life goes on…

One poster linked a great site re hawks and how to avoid them. I forgot that they prey on all types of things esp rodents and snakes and stuff. Thanks for that link.
