This beautiful hawk was watching me....because I kept inching closer and closer. While we were working outside this past weekend, the hawk stayed in our yard with us all day! What would keep a hawk in one place you may wonder? Well, while I ate a sandwich in the kitchen and looking out my glass doors to the backyard, this enormous hawk came flying down and grabbed a squirrel! I was traumatized because this was all happening right on my back step! I felt so sorry for the squirrel but realized nature had to play itself out. The hawk eventually won and moved to the middle of my yard with it's prey. We still had much to do in the yard so we just worked around him. He was close enough to take pictures and to admire. I was truly fascinated! He wasn't bothered by us at all and regarded us with mild interest. He just stayed put! He must have been hungry...it was such a long harsh winter.
I will not show you the squirrel part!

He chose you...if he let you watch him hunt...he must like you....very cool...a day to remember...nature came to call.....
I think I would have freaked out too especially if it was on my steps, but everyone has to eat!

Ouch, poor squirrel. So goes the circle of life.
Not so interesting if he caught your dog or cat. And, they frequently have pets for dinner.
I can't believe you were able to get that close! Great caption of your day outside!
Have a wonderful weekend.
