Sunday Morning Robin and Broad-winged Hawk

The two young Broad-winged Hawks (see July 28 post below) continue to show themselves around our yard every day, sometimes perching in the trees, sometimes flying overhead, and usually squeaking.

All the usual hawk-mobbing birds (chickadees, jays, nuthatches) go berzerk, but the robins seem most upset of all, encircling the hawks and often buzzing them.  Here are two unfriendly birds atop an oak in our backyard this morning.
