Rea-tailed hawk with squirrel 2

Andrew Steinmann

At the beginning of the Western Cuyahoga County Audubon walk on 13 May we were gathered in the parking lot when a RTHA flew over us low as if shot out of a cannon. He crashed into a tree and came out with a squirrel. Then he flew over to a tree above us. This would be food for the chicks in a nearby nest.
