There is only one guarenteed way, short of killing the hawk, which is illegal. Stop feeding the birds for a few days, and the hawk will move on when birds stop coming to the feeders. After a few days, resume filling the feeders.

Are bird feeders good for the environment?

Bird feeders can attract a wide variety of birds to your yard and provide extra food for birds when natural resources are low. However, putting out feeders requires responsibility:Bird feeders and areas around feeders must be kept clean or they can cause spread of diseases. Cleaning and disinfecting (with bleach solution 1 part bleach to 9 parts water) should be done monthly. Old seed and waste matter on or under the feeder must removed.Feeders should be attached to windows or placed more than 30 feet from windows so when birds are frightened they have a chance to avoid the glass.If you notice a natural predator such as a Cooper's Hawk hanging around, remove the feeder for a few weeks. The predator will move on.Outdoor cats are a major problem, killing millions of wild birds annually. If you have outdoor cats, especially feral cats, in your neighborhood, then you should not put out bird feeders or hang them high out of reach of cats. Some people put no climb fences around their feeders.Most Birds visit feeders to supplement their diets and do not become completely dependent on feeders because they require a variety of foods to meet their dietary needs. However, if you keep feeders going through winter, do not cease filling feeders mid winter or during harsh weather as birds that are in the "habit" of visiting feeders, will have an easier time finding food.
