Two days ago, before the rain, I was washing up my brushes when a hawk =
looked into the window above the sink in my studio. The studio is in the =
lower level behind the grapevine for those who have visited the =
property. It was on the sill and speaking to something that was close by =
and answering. It lifted itself up to a piece of driftwood under the =
platform feeder and there was another in the grapevine. I grabbed the =
camera and headed upstairs to see could I get a photo. I startled the =
when I moved ever so carefully to the doorway and there were three that =
flew away. I have no way of knowing but my first thought is youngsters =
with a parent bird. The most noticeable things were the eyes which were =
red and the tails were rounded. I  heard the chatter about the yard =
yesterday and a short while ago today.=20
I am trying to catch them with the camera but things are crazy getting =
ready for the opening of the lighthouse show in Port Medway at 6. The =
time they showed up was around 4:30 or 5 and I will be gone. Maybe =
tomorrow.=20

Hi All=20
This morning while doing some chores in the yard, I saw a hawk flying =
around.

I sat down to watch and it landed up a tall oak tree about 100m away.

It could see me and we watched each other for a few minutes. Then it =
flew

and came straight at me. On a downward plane. When it got about 10 m =
away it

flared up and sat on a limb just over my head. It looked down and turned =
its head

for a better look. I never saw a curious hawk before! Then it flew of.
