(I am always sort of glad when a hawk attack fails...I mean I do understand the balance of nature and all that, but can't help wanting the songbirds to escape.) In Oregon we used to have kestrels in our yard often -- whenever I spotted him, I had to restrain myself from going out to shoo off the songbirds.)<br /><br />But I love the regal-appearing hawks as well!
