Last week I had noticed that the birds, blue-jays in particular, seemed really agitated but I thought maybe there was a cat roaming around. Then when I got home from the grocery store, a squirrel was on a branch over our driveway, barking up a storm. Strange.
Well! The other day, my mom and I were in our front yard chatting and I noticed something that looked like fuzz blowing around. We grabbed one and saw that it was a feather. Mom said maybe the birds were molting or something. Then we saw that it was falling from the magnolia tree so I walked over and looked up...and this is what I saw!
A Sharp Shinned Hawk with what looked like a smaller bird.
He gave me his profile. :)
Beautiful bird but his yellow eyes, sharp beak & talons kinda freaked me out. He was pretty close!
I don't mind if he hunts bluejays (they're noisy and mean) but he better leave my dove and bunnies alone!
