The Squirrel & the Hawk

I looked out the window and was stunned to see a huge hawk on this tree in the back yard about 20-ft. from the house. My wife, stepson and I watched as a black squirrel jumped over from a neighboring tree and quickly caught the hawk's attention. The game latest for a few minutes, then the hawk turned and faced the bushes in the back. Suddenly, he flew to the ground and captured a mouse. Canfield, Ohio

    This is really great. The story to go with it helped me to see the squirrel, which I didn't notice at first. I love b/w photos of winter landscapes. So beautiful.
