We just got home from preschool and I was unpacking the backpack and heard a thud against our back window. When I looked, I saw a bird flying away - happy to see it wasn't injured. Then, out of the corner of my eye I saw this:
WHOA! Look at how large this bird is -- I think it's a hawk of some sort (I'm still trying to learn about all the birds we have around our house)
Here he/she is...flying off out back porch -- caught him/her in action!
So, this is why the poor little birds were flying against our back door -- a futile attempt to get away as quickly as they could before they were eaten!

Wow he was close! He was over at our house last week eating some dead geese. That was the first time I had seen a hawk in our area. Glad he lives at your house though!!! HA HA!
Yes! He is a hawk! Similar story: when Hailey was just a month or two old, I looked out our living room window and this HUGE bird was just sitting in the tree, staring at me. Totally freaked me out. I blogged about it way back in the day. I went on a Google search to discover that he was indeed a hawk. :)
