Yesterday I saw a new bird visitor to our back yard, however not a welcome one. A pidgeon hawk was swooping back and forth across the area where lots of goldfinches were enjoying an early supper. Suddenly he flew very close to the ground and in one seamless motion grabbed a little goldfinch. I saw the hawk take it's prey and land on the power lines with it, pause for a few minutes and then take off with his early supper. Sad to watch it really, but then that is how it all works in the circle of nature I guess.
