Hawks will find anywhere birds congregate. I stopped feeding in the Spring and Summer several years back because the hawks started putting so much pressure on them. I still keep the birdbath full, they don't congregate there as much (more just a steady coming and going), and it is an easier escape for them.

They're the best guardians. They or the Jays always notice them and sound first. The crows and Purple Martins then mob them and run them out of sight. Hawks can't deal with the martins in flight. Martins fly too high and are way too agile. If one lands in a tree the crows will pester the shite out of it until it leaves.
So far this year I haven't had to put up decoys to distract the crows from the purple martins. Hope it stays that way because hawks have been a problem for the past three years.
