Hawk commits attempted murder in Southampton NJ

Harriet the hawk goes after  Regina while Princess Martha and I look on.
Just sitting in my kitchen when I hear Regina bawking outside. "BAWk bawk bawk bawk" meaning... "Shit shit shit shit" to us humans.
I see something the size of an airplane swoop down fast in front of the window and take off just as fast. I jump from my seat and look to see what is going on. That stupid hawk was going after my girls again. I see her fly off with open wings... and land in a tree. Did she get Regina? I dash outside in my uniform (PJ pants, hoody sweatshirt, socks and a cape) and look around for her. Martha and Becky come out from under a bush looking very shaken. "Where is Regina"? They look at me as if I have betrayed them again by not letting them sleep in my house... I look over the neighbor fence. The ground is wet and cold and my feet sink into the cold mud. Ugh... more laundry, these were clean socks!!! I hate icky toes.  I go back in.... and watch. Did that hawk get my girl? I watch....to see.... they walk across the patio to a very thick shrub and give a brrr brrr sound. Out pokes a very scared little face. Ah Regina... there you are. That was close. She steps out... seems she fine... they all circle up give a once over and quietly go under the bush and sleep there for the rest of the day.
 I told my dad and he promptly brings me a fake owl. Hawks don't like owls, worth a try. I don't want to lose another girl. So here is my new pet owl. I shall name him Owen. I'm either going to stick him in the middle of the yard or on top of the hen coop. I just know I'm going to walk out there tomorrow to find Harriet the hawk making love to my Owen. Wouldn't that be great? I can have hawkowl babies... I'm so confused... so torn.... chickens... or hawkowls! I could be famous.
Oh... bother. Meet Owen, he soo handsome...non?


Just waiting.... "Oh! I didnt see you there".


"Can I help you? You would like to talk to WHO? No she doesnt live here. Go away, I'm very busy" .

"I told you NO! Stop it! Leave me alone, no you can't touch my feathers! I'm waiting for my girlfriend Harriet the Hawk, we are to make sweet love later".



I put the fake owl out in their coop and the girls ran inside their house.
