Yes indeed. In my case, my sister heard my screams as I was being attacked by the snake and the hawk. She came running out of the house, and was immediately bitten by a moose.

My sister was interviewed on the nightly news, and she became a local celebrity.
All I got was this lousy t-shirt.

True story: Back in the late 90's, myself and a few friends flew out to N.W. Kansas for the opening of pheasant season. We stayed in the farm house of the land owner who lived in town and was the local bank president.

We would arrive Friday, hunt Saturday and Sunday then return home on Monday.

Every Saturday night we would take the land owner, Ken and his wife, out to dinner in a neighboring town then return to the Logan bar and drink some beers and shoot pool with Ken.

There was a huge farm hand who hung out in that bar whose nick name was Jesus.

When we we asked Ken how he got his name "Jesus", Ken said "well, the first time anyone ever met him, the first thing they would say was "holy Jesus!" because he was so big.......LOL!

Agree. I keep finding odd things in my yard - partial pizza slices, dead rodents, etc, and realized there was a either a nest or meeting place for hawks in the neighbor’s tree that covers part of my yard. They drop everything and I have to watch that my dogs don’t pick up their droppings.

“he just dropped his lunch and wanted it back.”

Yes. Not too long ago I saw a hawk flying high in the sky with a snake dangling from its talons. I had no idea they were that bold, or hungry.

I just mowed my yard yesterday, but snakes falling from the sky was not a concern for me because we don’t have snakes in Alaska.

OUCH!

What a mess!

I always cover up well when outside mostly because of ticks and the risk of getting stung.

I guess then I might be somewhat safe from a hawk attack.

Good hawk.

I hate tree rats.

I was sitting on my back porch a while back. A hawk swooped down and grabbed a cat that was in my yard. He flew off with the cat screaming.

If that happened to me or someone I was with, I wouldn’t be thinking about taking pictures of the carnage.
Maybe she has a website and is an “Influencer”.

Was she calling for divine protection or help for the guy she hired to run the Weed Wacker?

When they have the Eagles at the ball fields before the game they are very careful not to get on camera when the Eagles swallows the damn rat in one gulp.

I saw a little kitten sitting next to the highway and stopped and picked it up. It had talon marks on both sides of its back. It had gotten away somehow.

That hawk wasn’t giving up his meal easily.
