Breakfast on the Wing

Yesterday morning Jeff was standing at the sink looking at the birdfeeder. The birds, mostly sparrows, fly back and forth from the evergreens by our house to the birdfeeder all day long. All of a sudden "swoosh" our resident red-tailed hawk flew between the house and the bird feeder picking up a sparrow in mid-air. Wow. Guess trimming the trees really helped the hawk-a larger airspace now around the feeder.

I wonder if the hawk knows what happened to my bunny. I had been feeding him hay in hopes he would leave my shrubs alone and suddenly the bunny has disappeared. Hum?
