With Cars zipping by on the freeway right next to the pole, this hawk sat and watched for prey that it might have a tasty morsel of food for lunch. There were plenty of squirrels and other rodents nearby, so this hawk had plenty of food from which to choose.

Anita, it was the cutest thing ever to see this bird sitting on this post right next to a zillion cars driving by! Never once did ini flinch or try to fly.

I often see hawks circling over the highway! Perhaps small mice, etc. get stranded there and are easy to catch? l/f

Hawks are not too difficult if you can follow along with the flight. They are very skittish and spook easily. This little hawk, and I have to admit, am not certain which one it is, was just sitting on a pole next to the freeway. My husband and I were getting into the car when I spotted this little guy. He sat on the pole allowing us to come quite close to capture him. On the whole, once you know how to approach birds, they will not be bothered unless you break a twig! Thank you for stopping by!
