Such awesome birds. They are all over my neighborhood, keeping the ground squirrels in check. Cool story: At my old house, we were redoing my roof, my brothers and I, and my front yard had two big beautiful oak trees in it, which were dotted with squirrels nests.
Anyway, we're working and we hear this ruckus in one of the squirrels' nests..the nest wsa basically at our eye level in one of the branches just 20 or so fee away. Just then, this hawk explodes out of the nest carrying a squirrel. The squirrel was big enough to weigh him down, and he basically flew within touching distance of my brother and I as he flew away with his catch. I was in awe. Just one of those things you don't expect. Nature is so cool. On Thu, Mar 22, 2012 at 8:53 AM, Erika L.
