Hawks settle in

I’d been preplexed that our bird feeders have been staying unusually full over the past week or two. Then yesterday I saw a young hawk perched on the roof of my neighbor’s house and started to wonder. When three hawks flew lazily over our home this morning I became sure of the reason.

So, hawks seem to have the run of the place. What kind of predators do they have? It seems they’re thriving in this area, for better or worse.
