Is something going on with hawks this year? I’ve very rarely ever had any on my property in the past decade. Now all of a sudden I have about six Broad Winged Hawks policing my property constantly. The squirrels are on high alert

They have been grabbing cats and small dogs in my area for the last few years. There is one particularly large one that seems to fly around at a fairly low altitude.

I have not noticed anything unusual here. Haven't seen our annual broad winged. Been there for years. May have passed.

Milder winters across most or the globe has increased populations of prey and their predators. Everyone I know has mentioned their mouse problems recently...raptors have a hard row to hoe and many never survive more than a few months because food is hard to come by....but warmer weather means more food survives cold weather and means higher survival rates for the predators.
We are crawling with raptors also....I have one nesting in a dead tree near me and the baby is about to take flight any minute...very neat. I saw him build the nest....he flew over the house once with a tumbleweed in his talons that wouldn't have fit in the bed of my truck LOL....in a 40 MPH head wind, no less....he was just barely making steerage LOL. Amazing what the need to procreate will drive an animal to....

A hawk grabbed a dove off the bird feeder right outside the window near our breakfast table last week. Home school science lesson started a bit early that day.
