of my house a few days ago. Looked out to see a hawk fly up to perch on the roof of my covered porch. It flew away before I could grab my camera or phone . But, some time later I noticed a squirrel hiding under the patio furniture on the covered porch! It was probably getting over the shock of being hunted by the hawk. Squirrels are attracted to the seed I put out for the birds and it wasn't the first time I've seen a hawk in my yard. This shot is from the last time a hawk was in my yard chasing squirrels. In this case, the Red tailed hawk was eyeballing the squirrel hiding among the rose bushes around the pole from which two feeders are hung.
