--> so the other day a hawk tackled a pigeon mid-air and landed in my backyard. i missed the actual hunt but go the aftermath. a midsized hawk ripping apart then toying w/it's prey in my backyard. that pigeon was toast. got riped to shreads. feathers everywhere, head was all mangleg and its breast was ripped open like gutted. the hawk just sat there on top of it, claws dug in pecking it to pieces and ripping the flesh right out of it. never seen that so close. never expected it in my yard.

i buried the carcas near wher ei buried the dead baby crow. i have my own bird cemetery now.

so far, racoons, crows, baby crows, cats killing baby crows, chipmunks galore, and now the hawk.

it wasn't a huge hawk but was really a cool looking bird. check the pics.

wow. that's crazy shit. i guess i'll have to pay attention to the little guys. i found paw prints on the windshield of my car as well.

Ignasty, the hawk in question is actually a Coopers Hawk. I saw 2 attacks like that in a matter of 15 minutes the other day at a park. One pigeon was pure white like a peace symbol. Then out of no where this hawk swoops in and tags it mid-air. Minutes later, another scene right out of 'wild America"!

Raccoons are such bastards... but I am amazed how amazing they are with their hands ... they could figure out how to use a Lunchable in seconds...

Hawks are fuckers.. like the dinosaurs and the devil combined.
