Saturday was a beautiful day and Steve and Barbara were over. As we were moving lunch to the outside table, there was a hawk sitting under the awning right by our door. It startled us; it startled him, and he flew up to the umbrella and kept looking at us.
We never see hawks around here and couldn't figure out what would motivate him to go so close to the house. Eventually he flew to a distant tree and then went elsewhere. And about an hour later when we watered the plants we discovered a little Dove huddled behind one of the planters, and she rushed out and over the fence to safety.
Last year the Blue Jays got one of the nests under our awning, so we were glad to see she made it out okay. Pretty smart bird (she let us run interference).
