sooooo did the hawk manage to get a nice little hot wing snack?

Zone 10a at best after 2007 AND 2013, on SW facing hill, 1 1/2 miles from coast in Oceanside, CA. 30-98 degrees, and 45-80deg. about 95% of the time.

I do some experiments and learning in my garden with palms so you don't have to experience the pain! Look at my old threads to find various observations and tips!

I think it is noteworthy to mention that this is an endangered species endemic to the island of Hawai'i, although vagrants occasionally wander to Maui, O'ahu, and Kaua'i.

And yes Bill, the population of little chicks dwindles every week, with only a few surviving to adulthood. Darwinism at work. However, since we started feeding the wild birds, with the forest chickens coming regularly for the leftovers, the hawks have been visiting almost daily and coming much closer now.

Thanks everyone! That was my first attempt at documenting any hawk action. I know what to do now to get better shots next time! I was amazed that I was only 40 feet away and it didn't seem to care. Unfortunately that time the chicken won and the 'io left empty clawed.

Really neat Angela! I remember thinking how strange it was to not see any birds of prey when I was there. No sea gulls either.

That's a great title! I don't know why I didn't think of that.
