Observation details
This hawk flew into the tree above me and stayed there about 10 minutes as I slowly moved sideways to get a clear view. Most of that time it was looking down from side to side below it. Suddenly the hawk dropped faster than gravity could have pulled it and the brush around me exploded with Mourning Doves flying in all directions. I was barely missed by one. I never saw the hawk again. I suspect it stayed in the brush with the dove it had targeted.
