    Preventing Hawks...Is It Possible?

    Hello all! Recently the red-tailed hawks here have been pretty brave. When one glides on by, Chicken (pretty creative name right?) will do his warning call and he'll follow everyone into the coop or under the nearest object. I've waited with rifle in hand waiting for them to begin their dive...
