We've had a problem here too with a coopers hawk who we had been living peacefully with for years. This year has been different. He will wait in the trees, hop along on the ground chasing songbirds...we've even recently seen him swimming in our duck pool and pouncing on the chicken run trying to find a way in. We used to free range, and we still do, but we are careful to always be present, and have the dog out with us when we range.
