Owl or Hawk?
Both are REALLY cool.
My Parents have both.
Both are cool to watch.
I've watched hawks grab rattlers and fly down at full speed letting go a couple inches from barbed wire.
It kills the snake and the hawk just sits near by watching until it thinks the snake is dead.
Then it comes back and eats it.
Hawks in the day get rid of all kinds of stuff,
Owls at night get rid of the night time critters.
Got mice/rabbit problems?

Cool.
Yeah, Hawks get rid of stuff! One year I found red feathers all over my front porch. Thought a cat had gotten one of the Cardinals. Nope, next day a hawk swooped in, landed on our railing and started looking in the bushes. The jerk was using my bird feeders as his smörgÃÂ¥sbord. I was NOT happy.

Interesting, lately we've had a MIssissippi Kite hanging around our place. He likes our tree in back, he will let me walk all around and never gets anxious. His buddy on the other hand takes off the second I walk outside. I had never seen a Kite before until now, took me forever to find out what it was.

I love birds(even if they peck on my toms.).
Generally, birds are a bit shy and very alert. They have higher IQ among a lot of animals.
I have some crows around. Also there are a lot of smaller birds running around the bushes, under the trees. They are very calm and have figured it out that I won't harm them. THATs smart. I have water for them in the shade and do not peck on the mater anymore.

Hawk. Could be a goshawk or there's one named for the bars on his wings. Not a red-tail.
