Is the snake cognitive of the fact that the hawk may swoop down and eat him?

if the snake worries too much about the hawk, will he develop an anxiety disorder?

They get prescribed xanies for that...

since man is the creature that can contemplate its own death, i guess the snake has an instinct to avoid the hawk, but doesnt know why.

you mean "cognizant" not "cognitive" but I get what you mean. ;-)

the answer is: probably not.

it will be aware of various input fed in through its senses...and will respond naturally to avoid something it instinctively knows to be a threat. but it has some awareness, albeit most likely vastly different from our own, and it "understands" that it is in danger, and perhaps "knows" something about the kind of danger.
