Looking for prey by bruni

Looking for prey

Watching a hawk watching a dove,which sat very still on our birdfeeder. the hawk made his move at the same time as the dove took off and flew in his direction; crisscrossing each other. the dove got away.
I know they have to eat but I'm glad the dove got away! How wonderful to have these birds in your garden.

Thankfully doves are quite responsive to danger. I wonder what kind of hawk this is. We only have red-shouldered hawks in our neighborhood. He looks so harmless sitting up there on that snowy branch. This is such a pretty scene with the snow covered pine in the background!

@thresheg Thanks Graham. we don't get to the hawks that often in our yard. I had been wondering while all the five birdfeeders were untouched. the hawk must have ben flying over and the birds disappeared for a few days.

Glad the dove got away, although like Paula I know hawks have to eat, too.

Great shot! I'm glad the dove got away. I've not yet come across a hawk but I've been told we have them around.

@prttblues Bev. as much as I like to see the hawk in our tree I rather he wouldn't come here to look for his meal. it takes days, almost a week before the birds come back. the feeders hang there untouched and it's like there isn't any live out there in our tree. I even miss the doves and sparrows. we had more snow again overnight. tomorrow Grace and I make our special trip to the Eaton's centre. we go there often during the year, but this one is our traditional visit to Santa Claus and I go for taking pictures of the windows outside the store. inside decoration is the same as last year. I already had a peek here on 365.
