had seen what I thought was hawk flying around for almost a year now. mostly jus saw huge soaring shadows cast from over head and then it would disappear. I also recently noticed some huge ravens started showing up over the last 6 months or so. never really seen either all that much at less i maybe saw a raven from a distance and figured it for a abnormally large crow.
well I just looked out my window and noticed more ravens than i normally have been seeing. these are some huge black birds. they were all swarming around a tree across from my window. they seemed to be very concerned with a particular mass in the tree. I noticed the raven swooping down towards the mass and that the mass would flutter. grabbed a up a scope to take a better look. all I can say is awesome! there was the hawk with a squirrel pinned to a limb and he was turning that sucker it into breakfast. this bird was huge and literally had the squirrels neck and the whole limb wrapped in it's claws while hanging almost upside down. everytime the hawk tightened up it's grip and shifted the ravens just went nuts! the hawk looked up after 3-4 minutes like screw this and proceeded to peck the squirrel in the head a couple hard times then scooped up his breakfast and headed out. but the ravens had other plans and a coulle of the jumped roght on his back sending him down to some lower bushes. they ended up behind a tree where I couldn't see them but after a couple minutes I see this massive swarm of features swooping up towards the sky. too much going on to tell if the hawk still had the squirrel in hi s grips but there is no way that squirrel made it out alive or at least without some serious injuries. i suspect that between being choked out for 4-5 minites and getting pecked in the dome a few times it was expired. and the hawk vs the ravens scene was just incredible!
