Red-tailed hawk antics

Yesterday at work a Red-tailed Hawk flew about five feet away from me, at eye level, while in pursuit of some Lesser Goldfinches but it failed to get one. Then it landed on a telephone pole thrirty feet above my head. I tried to get its attention as much as I could by making noises and waving my hands but it completely ignored me. I used to be really still to try not to scare them off but again today the same thing happened and it just stood there no matter what I did; it refused to even look at me but it absolutely had to know I was there. It flew right by my head again in pursuit of prey too.

The community I work in is called "Redhawk" and it definitely a fitting name; there's tons of Red-tailed Hawks there. I also saw a one walking around on the ground trying to get some animal in the bushes. Today I also saw more interesting behavior when a Raven and a Red-tailed Hawk were fighting with each other in the sky. I've seen a Raven doing acrobatics and attacking a Hawk in flight before but this was the first time I've seen a Hawk doing acrobatics (it did a couple rolls) and it fought back. They went at it for a few minutes then flew out of sight.

I also saw a Greater Roadrunner again yesterday. This is only the second time I've seen one and I didn't have my camera on me again! At least this one hung around for a couple of minutes so I could get a good look at it. I first spotted it running across the street with something white in its mouth, which I assume was food it was bringing back to its nest. It ran from bush to bush, knowing I was watching it, and finally made its way onto the hillside shrubs--which is the same environment the last Roadrunner I saw ran into.
