Today while I was in the office I heard this tremendous BANG!!!! outside. I was sure it had to be some idiot hunter discharging his gun at one of my dogs in the yard. I ran outside and found that all the dogs were just fine, but a hawk had flown right into the glass window in the screen door and was lying on it's back on the step twitching, while the dogs were barking at it - positive that this was some sort of covert attack on the house and property I'm sure. Anyway, it died a minute later, I guess it had broken it's neck on impact. I don't know why it would have flown into that window - it has a blind on it, so it should be obvious to any bird that it doesn't just continue to more outside. And a hawk? We've had a few tiny birds hit the living room window over the years, but never anything this big. Poor thing.
