When my hubby was working, one day I needed the car for something so i was taking him to work.When we turned on to one of the roads we had to drive on towards his job, a red tailed hawk chasing a mourning dove and almost flew into the windshield.

Yeah I have laying hens and I live on a lake. I have one that stops by everyday and sits in a tree over the coop like he is trying to figure out how to get in there. As soon as he lands I hear the rooster tell his girls to go in the hen house. They are Defintly a serious predator in the wildlife community, although very beautiful. He can have all the bunnies he wants come garden season though, those guys can do a number on your flowers and crops, and in just one evening. Don't let their "cuteness" fool you. They are destructive! I would rather have the hawk anyday

We caught one in our hay room a few weeks ago. He was using our pigeons as a fast food buffet! After a couple of days we trapped him in our hay room, caged him, and took him to the county's state park the next day to let him loose. Beautiful bird but so far he hasn't been back to our place. Maybe he didn't like the bum's rush from the restaurant hosts! LOL
