I live in Kaufman county, Texas which bills itself the red tailed hawk capital. I love raptors and drive my wife absolutely crazy because I slow down and gawk at every damn last one of them. My neighbors swear that not only hawks, but hoot owls are responsible for munching on various cats and small dogs.
I work near downtown Dallas, right on the Trinity river, at a plant that has a lot of tall, perchlike places, and so see hawks at work too. They also perch on light poles along L.B.J. in North Dallas (looking for rats in the median I suppose). You Dallasites who like raptors might like to look for that, but don't slow down while you're doing it, or you'll get rear ended.
A few weeks ago a hawk came and perched not a hundred feet from me while I was driving a loud piece of machinery. Lesson learned? Dallas Trinity river bottom hawks are not afraid of bobcats
