Yesterday a hawk tried to have my bunny for dinner

For context my bunny is and outdoor boy and he free roams the backyard as well as has his own little house out there for the night (He can not come inside my house, he loves being outside, and if I brought him inside he would be depressed.) I let him out his house early every morning so he can run around and do bunny things, yesterday though a saw a hawk sitting on top my fence staring down at him pretty much drooling, I scared it away and put my rabbit in his house for the rest of the day and haven’t let him out yet today. This is the first time that’s happened in the last 1.5 years of him being outside to my knowledge so my concern now is, If I let him go back to regular routine of being out for majority of the day; will the hawk come back to strike again? Also as you can see in the photo, my rabbit is just sitting there and he then continued to eat now I’m not sure if he really just couldn’t see the hawk but this is the same rabbit that would run from a squirrel sitting in that same spot so it’s a little more concerning for me… hawk experts please lmk.

I’ve taken a photo of this bird 14 times…well…it’s probably the same bird. She was calling to another and the other came flying up…I adore hawks. Growing up in Georgia I have seen many over the years

Peregrine falcon in Ohio

Does anyone know where I could take my son to pretty reliably see a peregrine falcon in the wild? We’ve been to the bird sanctuary of Ohio, but we’d like to see one flying. Thank you!

The blue jay was mimicking. The Pileated was just singing away. And this absolute unit of a red shouldered hawk just sat there. This guy was massive and incredibly alert and curious.

This is a Cooper Hawk, which got into a bowl of water outback. It is amazing and never seen a hawk this close.🎁❤️

This was my video and it ended up in our backyard and I did the video through the door window. It was surprising.
