Juvenile red shouldered hawks have been hanging around the yard since they fledged a few months ago. This morning, the birds in the yard were alarm-calling and making a noisy ruckus for about 20 minutes so I knew everyone must be aggravated by a nearby perching hawk. I finally went out to look and spied him sitting at the top of a cherry tree which also has a "trumpet vine"/"hummingbird vine" (campsis radicans) climbing up to near the top. Suddenly the hawk hastily departed... with a very angry hummingbird chasing after him! Hilarious!
