Bless Mama Jay’s heart...doing her loving duty!
Its unusual to see three hawks at once, isn’t it? I know the food chain, etc.etc. but it kills me to see them get a bird. I have only witnessed it once in my yard and hubby was here then. I was so upset and he went into the food chain bit! LOL...didn’t make me feel better!
Nope, it wouldn't have consoled me either.
As far as the hawks go, it looked like two of them were involved in some kind aerial mating dance. The third hawk may have been a rival or a hopeful suitor waiting in the wings. LOL.
It's unusual to see hawks over our town, they stay mainly out in the country and over the foothills.
I am enjoying the unfolding episodes of my little jay family, but part of me wants the process hurried up so that the little ones aren't so vulnerable. I feel responsible for them and I will be very happy when I see they are able to take care of themselves.
