Message: <blockquote data-quote="ceasar" data-source="post: 1326575" data-attributes="member: 26155">They are opportunistic.  We had a pair in my neighborhood a few years back.  A small spring fed stream bisects my yard and my neighbor's yard then enters a large stream.  Across the stream is a woods and behind the woods is a dairy farm where the spring originates.  One of them, the male, I think, used to perch in  trees near the small stream.  My neighbor had to take down his feeder after a while to give his birds some peace.  I recall one of the hawks flying over my house with a small snake in it's talons.  I did not have my binoculars and could not ID the snake.  They left that fall and never came back.Bob</blockquote>
