There is a small hawk staking out my backyard bird feeders. What kind is it and how do I get it to leave?The hawk is, most likely, a Cooper's Hawk or Sharp-shinned Hawk. Both species prey on smaller birds and love hanging out near backyard feeders. These hawks are native, same as the songbirds that visit your feeders, and must hunt to survive. The only way to truly keep them away is to get rid of all the songbirds near your home. |
