My husband passed last year. He was a pilot and loved to fly and watch the hawks that roosted and screeched behind our house. About 2 weeks after he died, I was at my lowest and in the middle of winter a red tail landed right outside a window and looked at me. NEVER had they come that close to the house. Another time, I was very sad and a red tail landed near me at his cemetery in a residential area. Lastly, my daughter celebrated her birthday in Texas and called me to say that a hawk followed her around in a city garden! The signs continue – one last story…last November I visited Hawk Mtn in Pennsylvania. I accomplished the treacherous hike to the top and sat for an hour in 19 degree weather waiting to see a hawk. The employee who was stationed there warned me that it would be a light day as there was no wind and migration was minimal at that time of year. After an hour I rose to leave and right then a solitary red tailed hawk flew over the lookout!! It is very difficult to describe how the raptors have comforted me and help me know that my husband is looking out for us. Thank you for this site.
This quiz has changed my life I took it and got the deer this explains why i run out infront of cars on the highway
We have had a young Coopers hawk sitting on a branch for hours at a time and recently 3 days ago for 3 hours. This morning we found it dead in our back alley. The hawk is my spirit animal and I’m deeply saddened. I understand it’s significance when alive but how about when it dies in front of you?
Started a new job and everyday I’ve gone into the city I’ve seen it flying above me. I know that this job is going to be draining and I think the hawk is trying to get me plan ahead for the obstacles that may occur with it.. I have also been receiving visions and vivid dreams for the past few days and am starting to write them all down
Yesterday there were at least 30 to 40 hawks flying and landing on a tree in my front yard. They stayed for about 5 min and all took off. This is the only occurrence I’ve had with hawks. My cousin told me about their spiritual meaning, I’ve also researched and I am in shock how the universe connects with us. I am not fluent in her language and yet I still feel I can understand her.
I have seen the red shouldered hawk sitting on the power lines daily as i drive daily, i have seen them perched closely to me on a fence post, i have seen them on the top of utility poles, and most recently i have seen a large red tailed hawk twice fly across in front of me very low so that I could see his colors……he and his mate perched on a nearby utility pole. I had a dream of the same red tailed hawk last night.
the hawks are very near me whenever i see them…either along the road, or flying across in front of me as i drive. They have been perched on fence posts near me when i have been riding my horses….
Right now am going through a very very stressful anxious time…feel like i need some guidance although what i read indicaties i should take initiative….but don’t know what my limitations or boundaries are in relation to the situation i am in….
What if you were limitless?
we are limitless

Hi, This is a lovely website, thank you for sharing it with us for the awesome blog recipe.
I had a mystical experience while in the new Mexico mountains years ago on a walk a bout as the Aborigines call it, or I was looking for something I didn’t know what at the time. I was way up in the mountains in mew Mexico in a lush meadow,the grass smelled clean, the wild flowers were in bloom and there was this huge flat rock in theiddle of the meadow. It was maybe 20 or 30 feet across and flat. So I decided to meditate on it because I had been traveling for two months staying to tje wild places without seeming to have a destination in mind. Well as I was meditating a light Misty rain started to fall, I remember it was warm and made me smile while in meditation. It just kind of formed on my body like a second skin. I was really comfortable just sitting there cross legged my hands were in front of me like I was holding an urn. Then out of nowhere I hearb a lot of swaking all around me, as I opened my eyes to see what was going on I looked up and there were twemty to thirty hawks in the trees all around me. It was like they were tying to tell me something, I was awed not frightened at all. A special calm came over me that I had never experienced before, it was like I became part of them like they were there to tell me that I had a path to follow, a destiny that at that moment In time was just the beginning and that all I had to do was watch, look, listen and wait for the right time and all was probable, all was possible. I was later in the San Carlos reservation talking to an Apache man and he told me that they were my spirit guides and to listen to the hawks and the earth and that I would understand. Since then whenever I see or hear the screech of a hawk I know that there is some message I need to understand if I listen closely.
