Look what visited our yard the other day. It was actually a small hawk, no real threat for the hens- tho he made them very nervous. Their nervous behavior is what tipped me off to go outside and look. It was the size of a young crow...I could imagine it saying to itself,
"I'm a chicken hawk and I'm going to get me some chicken!" Just like this*
Do you see the beautiful stripes on his tail? I really like hawks, just not when they are bothering my hens.
