I have witnessed a hawk perch in a nearby tree and then swoop through my yard here in Strafford this winter, quite low and quiet....birds cleared out from feeders except a couple of intrepid chickadees. Not sure which kind of hawk, quite large, and here and gone in seconds. Couldn't get a really good look at markings, but saw mottled brown-ish and white. Laughter is carbonated holiness. -Anne Lamott On Tue, Jan 13, 2015 at 5:02 PM, Kendall Smith <[log in to unmask]> wrote: > I still see a Sharp Shinned Hawk every once in a while.
