This hawk has spotted our bird feeders and seems to have taken up residence...Not too sure if I like that...

Seems every feeder gets one sooner than later. I used to not like it much until I realized that often the hawks would capture sick birds thus reducing the chance they will make other birds sick.
I struck a deal with my hawks. They leave the rarities alone (Harris's Sparrow, White-throated Sparrow etc) and focus on the non-native species and sick birds and we'd get along fine. ;D
In reality though, it's not fun to see them catch a bird coming to your feeders.
Love that photo. Couldnt have captured the predator lurking near a feeder look much better.
