Ed, I’m calling about the hawk sighting in Ewing. I’ve seen it before; it was here last year or the year before near the train station. It’s quite large, not one of the normal hawks in the area. During the winter, hawks zero in on bird feeders because they live on songbirds. I know because I’ve watched them do it at my own bird feeders and I saw a hawk attack a full-grown squirrel, which managed to get away. A hawk could take off with a young kitten, so I would be careful with unattended kittens.

Do you think a hawk could take off with a Yorkshire terrier?—Ed. Note
