Predator and Prey




I spotted this Red Tail Hawk from the window one morning and quickly grabbed my camera to snap a picture.  The bird seemed to be "fussing" with something in it's talons.  I couldn't tell what it was.

I spooked it and it took off away from me......



The hawk pulls it's prey in close to help streamline its flight.










Even though this is a little out of focus, you can clearly see
that it was a squirrel in it's grasp.


It's all part of Nature's plan.  Some are predators...some are prey.
