Glen, they are indeed cheeky.
One thing I learned was not to try and chase the hawk away by going outside near the area where the birds are hiding, it flushes them giving it a chance to grab one, I go out on the deck and sometimes that doesn't faze a hawk that's looking for a meal..
Lin, your birds shots are great too!
