hawk's
Hunting bird's possession
Hawk's is the possessive form of hawk—a bird of prey with keen eyesight and hooked talons.
The form appears in compounds describing sharp perception: hawk's eye, hawk's-eye view.
A hawk's eye suggests piercing, watchful attention.
In jewelry, hawk's eye is a blue-gray variety of tiger's eye stone.
