Lisa from Powell, OH, asked:
Hi Julie,
A pair of large hawks have been hanging out in our heavily wooded yard for the past several weeks and they seem to be watching us as much as we watch them.
When we go to different areas of our home, the hawks fly to trees directly outside of the rooms we’re in and position themselves so they can be seen and can see us.
During the 23 years we’ve lived here, we’ve seen an occasional hawk in our yard but never a pair and never for this length of time.
These hawks have proven to be a much needed distraction for my seriously ill husband and me and our family.
What do you think their presence means? Thanks.
Hi Lisa,
Before I connected to you and through you to the hawks, I was inspired to research the symbolism of these birds of prey. What I learned was fascinating.
Hawks:
– Are messengers from angels, the spirit world, and the Divine;
– Signal a time in your life when you need to focus on what’s ahead and prepare for a leadership role;
– Symbolize you are ready to fly higher than ever before and have an increased power of focus;
– Indicate you will take the lead when the time is right;
– Symbolize a strong connection to spirit; increased spiritual awareness;
– Are reminders to open our eyes and see what is there to guide us.
I imagine all of these symbolic meanings may resonate with you considering your husband is ill.
When connecting with the hawks, I “got” they were there to provide entertainment and be a distraction as well as a soothing presence for you and your family.
They told me they like it when you come outside and talk to them and they requested you put out some popped popcorn in a metal pie tin for them. They showed me they’d like the pie tin placed in the woods.
When I Googled hawks and popcorn, I discovered they do indeed eat popped popcorn!
Hope this information shines some light on your new pet hawks.
