One time I found a few feathers left thrown in the middle of my backyard lawn. Another time I found splatters of blood on the patio when I came back from an errand. No one saw what happened, but I guessed probably a hawk did it.
It is a beautiful creature, but it is a predator. Yesterday when I was in the kitchen still working on the Thanksgiving dinner, two of my guests saw a red-tailed hawk landed on the patio right in front of their eyes. It took only a couple of seconds, failing to grab any victim and flew away. What a memorable moment!!! I just missed it...
