I just snapped this out my back window. I had caught a squirrel in my Havahart (poor name in this case) live
trap earlier this morning when this hawk swooped in & started attacking it thru the cage. He got tired of that
after about 3 minutes. Now he's been perched up in a tree about 15' away, keeping an eye on it for the last
15 minutes & counting.

I'll report back on the outcome later.

I have a feeling this isn't going to work out well for the squirrel.

I have got to get me a trap!

This guy hangs around my back yard


ETA why in the hell is tiny pic always rotating my pictures!

I think yer just holdin' the camera sideways....

We have one that routinely lands on our porch and stares at us through the storm door.  It's cool in a creepy kind of way.  I'll try to get pics next time it does it.

I've got the now dead squirrel spread eagled on the top of the trap.
I'll try & get a picture if Mr. Hawk returns. Once this rain stops, maybe he'll be on the move.

Last week I found a partially eaten squirrel carcuss that had washed off the roof during a hard rain.

I've also seen an owl about the same size as the hawk hanging around by the trap.
