These are photos of a hawk eating a squirrel he had caught. It was literally outside our apartment. When we walked out our front door and turned onto the sidewalk, there he was, right ahead of us. I didn't want to get too close. Maybe it's the African in me being weary of wild animals or something. But I went as close as I dared. It was amazing to watch him. He must have been there for about 2 hours while we went sledding, having his Christmas lunch. We have so many squirrels around our apartments... I posted a photo of one a few months ago when it was warmer and still green.

Ryan thought this squirrel was dead, because it's tail was missing, and it was so still, attached to the wall, for so long. I suspect it didn't move until the hawk was gone. Wow, wildlife and nature right outside your door!
