Not when they come to your backyard for you. It's easier Rob. :)

You're welcome Tony. Glad you liked it. Mother nature provides for all living things, we can't stop them from eating but the hawks here, I've never seen them eat a baby squirrel as our squirrels never come out of the nest until their older, and are protected by the tall full leafed oak trees in our yard. In fact, the hawks seem to prefer moles, and as you see in this photo the Glass Lizard, and for some reason the Tit Mouse bird. One year the Tit Mouse stopped coming to the feeder because of the hawk continuing to swoop in a get a meal. Fortunately, they've started to come back.

Thanks for the compliment, I thought so too when I saw him/her eating.
Thanks EM.
I understood too, I lived in Arkansas for 20 years on the side of a mountain on 3 acres we had to keep mowed because of the copperheads. I was mowing one day and hit a patch of tall grass where a nest of these snakes were. I'm a firm believer of short grass.
I've also been informed the hawk wasn't eating a Blue Indigo racer but a Glass Snake also known as a Glass Lizard, these lizards have no legs, according to my source who sent me a PM to explain what it was the hawk was eating. It was hard to see what color the snake was and behind glass that I was shooting from even harder to tell which snake the hawk was eating.

Thanks for the compliment, and our yard doesn't get over grown so you can't see the ground where you walk but my oldest brother mowed the day before this happened so maybe he scared the snake out and caused the hawk to see him/her. This was not a poisonous snake though, it's Glass snake aka Glass Lizard, no legged thing.
I have a pair that nests not far from the house, so I have an opportunity to get photos of them year around. You're welcome for the posting and thanks for the compliment.

You recently had a marvelous shot too, Jer, I saw your Egret shots. But thanks for compliment on mine. :)
And I have a nesting pair that is here year round, so I have lots of opportunity to get a shot like this in my backyard even though I live in a city, small though it is, our house sits on two lots, with enough tall trees for them to be protected.

Thie Red-Shouldered Hawk was perched on top of my feeder post on the bird house that never had any birds nesting in it, it's falling apart now but birds use it as a perch. I was in my room, and could see smaller birds looked like they were diving down at something, so I got up and opened the curtins, and there he was chowing down on a snake. The birds I saw swooping at him were Blue Jays but they couldn't chase him away from his meal.

Thanks for looking!
