For the past three days a pair of Broad-winged Hawks has been living in my yard. They perch in trees along the woods edge, and swoop down to the lawn to eat worms. At first I was concerned that they were after my bird feeder browsers, but they haven't even looked at them. They just eat worms from the grass. I enjoy watching the hawks, but was hoping they would move along down the road. The adult songbirds may be too big for them, but I know their future nestlings will be tasty morsels. Today the hawks were mating in the tree outside my window, so I think they are here to stay.
