Yeah, they are really something to see swooping threw the valley when they spy something! So incredibly fast and precise.
One evening around sunset we were sitting out in the garden on the deck and I went inside to refresh our drinks and I hear my husband start hollering so I ran out and he asked if the sprinkler system had busted a leak somewhere or is that a rattle snake?........."no honey we don't have a sprinkler system"!
Our cat had come across it curled up next to a dry stacked rock wall underneath tons of salvia. I did have very thick flower beds all along that rock wall and I have thinned it out a lot since then. I have learned to start out with long pruners even if over sized for the job instead of getting all up in something with my felcos and face. I never know what might be there!
