I think they're after the squirrels. The ones at our farm have gotten two of my new batch of chickens, but I think the rest have begun to recognize the hawk's cry and hide. I haven't let the guineas out of their house yet this year, but I think I'll do it tomorrow. If anybody wants a Cooper's Hawk (that's what the neighbors say it is) please come and get them. We have too many here. Tina On Thu, Aug 12, 2010 at 8:04 PM, Ken Carney <kcarney1 at cox.net> wrote: > Thanks. I looked at some web photos of the sharp-shinned hawk and I think > this was one.
