Birds be alert - Hawk overhead

I saw this bird circling around a few houses away from us. no idea what I saw. when I uploaded to picture to the computer Hans said it's a hawk.
no wonder all the bird were gone from the feeder.

They have a great sense of self preservation, don't they?

[Ann H. LeFevre]

That happens here too. Busy birdfeeder and then suddenly everyone's gone. The next thing I hear is the Red Shoulder Hawk calling overhead.

Nice capture, Bruni.

Great shot of the hawk flying into the sky.

Great capture of this hawk, Bruni. A hard thing to do. I love seeing them soar overhead like this. All the birds hide here as well and are silent.
