It is the same here, but with very few species. The day was beautiful finally and I went out in the evening and I saw tons of redwings and starlings and redpoll!! Anyway it was good to see birds for a while. I've seen the merlin again, so it looks like it came back to me!! Do you want it for October?Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16336362938871245037noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8272641239781020595.post-31233198047523622482009-10-03T19:55:23.758+01:002009-10-03T19:55:23.758+01:00I believe that hawks are a part of the Eco system ...I believe that hawks are a part of the Eco system and if we want birds to come, eat, drink and raise young, then we have to accept the baggage. <br /><br />And in this case it is a sparrow hawk. We have Coopers Hawks which is a larger hawk but they only come to eat and do not dally around. <br /><br />When they eat they leave and the rest of the birds can do their thing. I accept them all as "birds." And love all of them. <br /><br />I think their jobs are to hunt the birds and they do and when they find a flock of them at a feeder it is easy pickings for them. No mad dashes through the limbs and leaves, just one dive onto the feeder and that is about it.<br /><br />If I could or knew how, I would set up a feeder for the hawks.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8272641239781020595.post-49596646639068748332009-10-03T19:23:13.094+01:002009-10-03T19:23:13.094+01:00The Sparrowhawk has been visiting my garden again ...The Sparrowhawk has been visiting my garden again too over the last week or two and has taken quite a few Goldfinches! <br /><br />110 Linnets!!
