Hawk Buddies

We have a pair of hawks that have taken up residence in or around our yard.

I have not seen them take any of the birds from the feeder, but they’re eating plenty of worms from the ground.

Almost daily we see them.

Can’t tell what they are. Likely Coopers hawks, but possibly juvenile Red Tails (or Sharp Shinned or Goshawk). Identification between them is difficult (for us) if they’re not in flight. In flight they have very distinct wing patterns. Since the only flight we’ve been seeing is from a low branch to the ground, there’s not much opportunity.

We’ll keep you posted. Maybe they can help with the explosion of rabbits since the neighbors moved away with their cats.
