Hawk

I had a huge hawk in the trees that are at the back property edge two days ago. Snapped a picture of it facing the other way overlooking a ten acre field. It usually is in the 100' tall pine trees about five hundred feet northeast of my house. That is a sight to see but not like the eagle.

The hawk that I saw or one of its relatives a few years ago swooped down about five feet from me in my front yard and scooped up and then ate the baby titmouse bird on the grass. I was just about to reach down and pick up the baby bird and put it back in the nest that was in the male holly bush but the hawk beat me to it. Scared the living bejesus right out of me. It took two swallows as it flew off and that was it.

Only time I have scene an eagle up close was Edison Lake in Califonia. Three of them flying around at the lakes edge near its nest. Absolutely breath taking.
