Hiding From The Hawk

The hawk returned the other day, I spotted him way up in the trees,

both eyes fixated on my bird feeders.

The little birds disappeared for a day or two and then returned slowly.

Their resting spots are different, 

they are aware of his presence and are keeping themselves covered and protected.

It is more difficult to photograph them but I am glad they are safe.

So far, the hawk has only succeeded in scaring them.

Here is my Yellow-Rumped Warbler, I have 2 that have been visiting all Winter.

I only see this chubby little bird during Winter months, it's Spring and they are still here.
They change clothes in the Summer, 
their browns become a darker slate gray.
I thought I saw a male yesterday in it's Summer colors but I did not get a picture.
They do have a yellow rump, easily seen when the fly off.


And here's a terrible picture of the big, bad, hawk.
He is difficult to photograph now and it will be impossible if Spring ever arrives.
This tree will be filled with leaves.
Again...that's if Spring ever arrives!
