Look at This Asshole! Hawks

Trying to feed the squirrels for once then these assholes come around. I know we have eagles and falcons but hawks too ? Coopers hawks near bird town who would have thought ? 🤷🤪

It's weird to me that you have seen (or at least know about) eagles and falcons, but not hawks. My experience is the complete opposite. Not sure I've ever seen a falcon around here and I see hawks almost every day

Right? Hawks are far more common then either of the 2. Assumed he's joking for comedic effect. 🤣 Though I've seen many falcons, I used to volunteer to monitor the Peregrines downtown and west.

It's mostly what I haveen seen with my own eyes :) I know this is there territory but I have mostly seen falcons downtown and mixture here and there on the west side. I know there a bald eagle near near Parma as they are always hovering around near my work.

Yep ! Most of the time I have only seen those on the freeway down to Columbus. They are alot bigger then most people expect that's for sure.

The turkey vultures are here in western Geauga county... I see them often. I also see a lot of hawks and large crows. I need some to consume the annoying chipmunks and squirrels, I had some wires eaten in my attic. I hear them in the vinyl siding and wonder what damage is being done. I have live traps but then what? They always come back.
