Had a hawk scare the other day. I went out just in time. I was facing away from the house, looking at my little ones in the grow out pen. I turned just in time to see a hawk..a huge one..come over the front yard apple tree. That bird had to have been circling and watching. They are always up high. Well, it got a surprise by the time it cleared that tree..there I was. My brain clicked in pretty quick. I hurried a few steps forward with my arms up yelling and waving. It had it's head cocked sideways..lol..almost to say..hey, where did you come from..it hurried and swooped up and over the neighbors tree. I swear, it was only about 6 or 7 ft. above my head. It wasn't flying fast, it had it's mind set on getting to the ground and swooping up one of my girls. Glad I was out when I was.
