Great film. Clearly the squirrel is teasing the young hawks. Taking a real chance, however. A squirrel was taken off the wires behind my house a week ago.

Red tail vs squirrel ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Subject: Red tail vs squirrel From: Karen Edelstein <k...@cornell.edu> Date: Fri, 26 Jun 2020 18:53:42 -0400 X-Message-Number: 1 The last few weeks have been full of wild activity in our backyard, as a nest of red tailed hawks up the hill has now fledged and are spending a tremendous amount of time around our bird feeders and on the trees in the yard. I captured this interaction between a couple of juvenile hawks and a young squirrel the other day. Can any animal behaviorists give me more information on what seems to be going on? https://youtu.be/uA873t01oBg As of today, these hawks are now successfully catching their own food on their own.
