Fortunately the dogs provide a deterrent for this and most other predators. My biggest worry was the birds being scared literally to death and my chooks that spend some days free ranging in my yard.
6/2 We have more visits by our hawk over a few days. One of dogs had an operation recently and thus couldn't be outside running about as much. He has since recovered so we are now making sure the dogs are out in the yard when we are not home. Hopefully this will scare the hawk off. He is after our chooks I'm pretty sure and they always go off when the hawk is about.
