Do you work at the plant that made Harriers? I can't imagine anyone, aside from the deaf, not knowing what happened in there.

My yard seems to attract a lot of odd birds. This hawk came down to get a drink during last summers 3 month 106 degree drought and just hung around under the tree while the hose was lightly spraying. He just sat in the mud getting sprayed for about 10 minutes.

Then the buzzard that stole my soccer ball.

Or this dude! I am on his rounds of our small town and he is often seen sitting on the bench in front of the barbershop.

Hawks in my yard seem to prefer squirrels for dinner. I just wish they would eat more of them.

A couple of photos from when a red tailed hawk grabbed a squirrel running across the tenth tee in front of me at Wilmington's Muni ...

No. Less to do with aircraft and more to do with about 90% of whats in your pantry.

Awesome pictures, guys.

Wow!

Hilarious pic of the buzzard with the ball. I think the funny looking one after might be a roadrunner.

I realized a couple of years ago that I had noticed a large increase in the number of hawks (I think red tails) in our area. We've been here for about 15 years and for the first few years it was a rare occurrence to see a hawk overhead, but now I see them daily. It's still very rare to see them capture prey, but we do have squirrels and rabbits (see them in my yard daily) so I'm sure the hawks aren't going hungry.

Food/drug. Hair net, safety glasses, hard hat, protective toe shoes, always keep a gas mask or respirator close.
