How surprised was I last week when I arrived home to find a hawk perched up on the power line about 20 feet from our house? Now we have heard a hawk for several years around our land... we just assumed he/she roams our area of east Cobb County since we are a more wooded area. Well other than flying hundreds of feet in the air, I have never actually laid eyes on it until last week. And what a beautiful site it was! Well, while sitting in my car and looking up at it through my windshield I was slowing taking my cell phone out to snap a pic when all of a sudden another one flew into the yard from the woods! Holy cow, TWO hawks at the same time... I couldn't believe it! What are the odds? So I sat in my car for over 5 minutes just watching them. Finally, they both took off into the woods. The next evening both of them were sitting on the power line about 40 feet apart from each other and this time they had the look that stated "don't even think of getting out of that car or I am gonna peck your eyeballs out"... So I sat and waited again. At one point they started their war screaming from the power lines and eventually left.
Well, guess what woke us up on Saturday morning? The hawks in the back yard screaming... by now we have figured they must have a nest somewhere near. I grab the good camera and try to sneak out on the deck to snap their pic...
Well both of them we sitting on this limb and the other one flew off just before this shot finished. Isn't it a beauty?
Man, I love living in a wildlife preserve in the city!
