    at first super Owls are predators of Hawks. 2d of all while you're seeing greater then 2 hawks at a time and you're no longer at a migration spot, they're possibly no longer hawks, my wager is they're Turkey Vultures returning to their roost. 0.33, Hawks do no longer decide for open area, in the event that they're Hawks they're possibly Cooper's or Sharp-shinned and those species are adapted to pass away interior the woodland and maneuver by wood. Why no longer in straightforward terms save your feeder the place that's and enable nature take its direction. With all the form nutrition isn't undemanding to come returned by utilizing for Hawks, there are greater then adequate songbirds. I also have a Cooper's Hawk pass to my feeder and grab a fowl or 2, I purely delight in his elegance and ability.
