Hawks return

I have not seen much of the hawks since early spring. I assumed that they had either moved on to a new hunting ground or all the leaves made them much harder to spot.

The other morning, on the way home from Danny's morning walk I looked at the pond and there sat a beautiful red tailed hawk. The only time I have seen a hawk sit on the ground is when it is grabbing its prey. I immediately thought of Maddy and Paddy, but they were at the edge of the pond about 5 feet from the hawk.

The hawk sat for a minute and then flew off. Tonight I also spotted the hawk flying around the pond, so there must be something of interest out there.
