The Hawk

The other night we got a phone call from our neighbor telling us there was a hawk in the tree out back.  So, we get Blue and Petey and sent them outside to do their job and chase the hawk away.  Well, we went out and looked at this hawk and I have to tell you that this thing was so big that it made Petey look skinny.  So naturally we were concerned for the Girls.  This hawk could have taken one of them with little or no effort.  So, in his infinite wisdom my husband breaks out the pellet gun and starts taking pot shots.  (no windows or neighborhood kids were shot.)  One shot hit the hawk in the tail and the hawk just moved his feathers.  Holy Cow!  This was one tough bird.  Then my husband landed a good shot right between the wings and the hawk soared away.  Why do I think this won't be the last time we see this hawk?
