Garden Pests and Diseases: My foe is a hawk!, 1 by konkreteblond

Chilihead...lol...I guess the "grass is always greener". I do have some doves that are pretty pushy and sit their entire body in my little feeder. The only other birds that I have (since we are in a new development with no trees) is sparrows, a few finches, and occassionally one Red-winged Blackbird. Oh, and this year I finally have some Robins. Other than that it's my little Mourning Doves so I've become quite attached to them.

For a while the hawk would sit facing the yard behind me and I know they used to have mice (and a rat!) so I hope he finished them all off. That he will migrate soon is also another thought, but I don't know exactly what kind it is. I won't be shooting him (which is actually illegal here) but will not be happy if he grabs a meal in front of me!

I just remembered I have a shot of him thru the window. Maybe someone can tell what kind it is.
