... Wow, musta been awesome. Red Hawks are majestic and of course hunt rodents and small mammals. But watching a Sharp Shin or Coopers hawk is a whole nuther adventure. We have a feeder out front under a pine and another area with feed out back under pine tree in a crowded suburb so the birds are safe from Red Hawks but every month our so we find the feathers and not much else because a SShin/Coopers hawk found and killed a bird. Even a pretty big woodpecker. They are so lethal and if I am not mistaken the only hawks that kill birds in flight. Every now and then one is sitting in the tree out front and as much as I don't wanna interfere with nature, I feel like my feeder is bringing small birds to a place that isn't natural so I chase the SShin/Copper hawks away. And as you said, they are gone soooooooo fast.  

Until last year we had a feeder right outside our family room (almost a full wall of glass, with 12' ceiling), but I had to take the feeder out. A number of predators had discovered the bounty of prey present (gives a new meaning to "bird feeder"), and we had constant crashes into the windows. When a red tail in full chase hits the window the whole house shakes! Needless to say, the windows were getting damaged, and the seals on most of them popped, so the windows were fogging up. One red tail figured out the glass, and learned to approach from the right angle to drive mourning doves into the windows. They'd fall to the ground, stunned, and he had an easy catch! The red tails would usually only be present in spring, as once the trees fully leafed out the maneuvering room got too tight for their liking. At that point the Cooper's would take over. We usually only saw them as a flash going by. I only saw a sharpshin twice, but the one time was spectacular and gruesome. He caught a cardinal that was bigger than he was, and they fell to the ground fighting. That fight lasted several minutes before the cardinal lost, and then the hawk was too gassed to fly for nearly an hour.

Thank you for pointing out, I know my grammar is not the best.
I was not born or educated in the United States, so I fail o basic grammar at times.

Didn’t bother me, between the 1000 thoughts in my head, not proofreading, and auto correct I have lots of wrong things in my posts. I was able to interpret everything you wrote

Yeah I didn’t even notice since I probably read through these a little too quickly sometimes.

Your father-in-law did an excellent job with that photograph! That is absolutely amazing.

Thanks. He always enjoyed photography and took great pictures. Wish I had his eye. I can take some decent photos, but his are a step above.

Didn't mean to hit a nerve....but to answer your question I put it in the cart, on my golf bag or I carry it in my hand and lay it down to hit my shot.

I will do you one better--- My cell phone stays in my car when I am on the golf course. The only emergency that could pop up is my wife and she knows where I am playing at. Now there is one exception--- When I walk my GM  Co Owner insists I take it with me . He told me flat out that he knows I am older and big and wants to make sure I have it if I need it. I do keep the ringer on mute. 

Same here. My phone is in my car when I play golf. We didn’t have 24/7 contact with each other for millions of years, we don’t need it now 99.9% of the time.

Grammar is overrated anyways. 3rd English class at the college level and I still suck at it.

Glad to have you around here Doctor.

I used to teach accounting at the college level when I was younger and the first thing I did on day 1 was put an X on the whiteboard with a box around it. I told the class that was what my spellcheck was and I was not an English major, easy way to tell was that I had a job. Little tongue in cheek humor that was mostly lost in the kids. Irony was that my first undergraduate degree was in American History and I wrote a lot of papers for someone that went into accounting.

Irregardless, no matter how grammatically incorrect is one of the best non-existent words that exists.

It is probably one of my favorite words and I have been shamed into not using it
