Title: Hawk 1 and Squirrel 0
Post by: KySongDog on September 16, 2014, 02:17:33 PM
.... and I don't think there will be a rematch.  This hawk found its dinner in my front yard yesterday.   The squirrel never knew what hit him.  I was lucky to get the camera going right after death-from-above swooped down from the sky.    :biggrin:

Nice shots.  I would love watching this take place.  It would be even better if it were my neighbor's cat rather than a squirrel.

Probably no more than 15 yards.  To keep from spooking him, I was completely concealed with just the camera showing around the side of the house.  Using a 24x lens.

That would be a complete waste of perfectly good Chinese food. General Tso's kitten.
