There are many species of hawks that visit Mimosa Lakes, but they are
not always easy
to see. You have to watch for them, or listen for their calls (a high
pitched screech.... varies with each species). If you are lucky, you may
see one perched in a tree, or on a telephone line. They can often be
spotted circling overhead. I have seen the smaller Red-Shouldered Hawk
catch chipmunks, and the larger hawks catch grey squirrels. They probably
also feed on mice, moles, and snakes.
