I looked out the window to see what the commotion was about... Then I saw it. I was just about to let them out to free range...

The hawk looks a bit peeved, doesn't he?

Wow, this is scary! I too have netting over my entire run and I'm wondering when I'll see something like this. They circle all the time but never land. I'm pretty sure it is because of all the dogs at my house and in the neighborhood but who knows.

Juvenile Cooper's. Those chickens look bigger than he is! I've actually seen small birds kick these hawks' behinds sometimes. Yet, crows will avoid them.
