Kitchen Birdfeeder

How do you keep a hawk from killing birds at a birdfeeder?
I feed wild birds throughout the winter for the fun of it and don’t want to quit feeding them, but a hawk keeps killing them. I live in a semi-rural area in Southern Ohio and love my birds. The feeder is near my kitchen window (15ft) and the Hawk swoops in from field and scares the birds. Normally birds fly into the window and the hawk picks them up and carries them away. It has killed over 8 birds and it has left 2 birds to die on my deck. Please help me.
-thanks
Sounds like you need to move the feeder away from the window first of all. You can take it down entirely for a week or so until the hawk realizes there is no easy meals there and then replace it (away from the window) once the hawk leaves the area. Or keep it up, but move it to an area where there is some cover for the birds so they might hide if the hawk comes in. You last choice is to remove the feeder completely. I assume this is a Cooper’s Hawk that is eating them..they are smaller hawks and are very maneuverable. Besides that, there is not much you can do to stop nature. Keep in mind you cannot harm, or harass the hawk in any way, they are protected by law.
