I saw it catch a Starling and bring it down. I thought about shooing it off, but then thought the hawk has babies to feed so I left well alone...They only take what they need to survive...

Amy, we have Buzzards, Sparrow hawk and Peregrines around here as well as a Kestrel out the back of the fields. We live at the edge of the countryside and get a lot of wildlife.

I love to see them, but not when they take the song birds...but that's nature as you say!

Raptors need meat, unfortunately here in suburbia, it Blue and Great Tits usually.
