The hawks are on the prowl

We have noticed a couple of hawks in the area lately. Although we often see hawks we rarely see them in the garden but just lately we have. I posted a photo of one a week or so ago and the other day we had lots of feathers in the garden where a snowbird had been picked off. This morning I spotted a Sharp-shinned Hawk in the garden and managed to get a few photos of him before we frightened him off.

If our birds and animals are going to get eaten I would prefer that hawks do it, but I would still prefer to deter it if I can. It is the cats that I hate in the garden as they catch things just for fun and not because they need to eat.

Anyway, here is the hawk sitting on the edge of our firepit.

Talking of photos here are a few of a lovely sunrise we had the other morning.
