I was in my backyard, just standing their and a hawk flew about 5 feet above my head and started making that caw noise that they always make. I thought it was going to attack me so I ran into my house. (there were no hawk nests near me!) Why did it do this?

Are you sure it was a hawk? Hawks make a screech and not a caw sound.

Sounds more like a crow; they make 'caw' sound! Unlikely it was a hawk. Hawks circle high in the sky, coming toward ground only to capture prey they noticed from high above. Crows will not deliberately attack you, but they can be a real nuisance; better hope he didn't bring his 'family' with him!

Hawks are a bird of prey, they might have seen a small bird or even a birdfeeder near you, then they come in for the swoop. Hawks venture out great distances they dont need to nest nearby.

Hawks "Screech" they don't "Caw"!
You were probably looking like it's next meal?
It was possibly warning you off it may have had a young one near at hand?

Probably just curious.
We have many hawks around here. Keeps the cat population down.
I bet he/she was just curious, they wont hurt you. Maybe you kicked up a mouse, or your cat or something was following you?

I guess maybe he thought you were an animal or something... if it was, you did a good job of going into your house.

He may be going blind and thought you were a animal in the yard.
