I just saw Dad's bird feeder picture and it reminded me of what I saw the other day. Friday afternoon I was stopped at a red light, sitting right next to the Bowman Field/Le Relais parking lot. I was staring straight ahead, mostly zoned-out as I waited for traffic to start moving, when out of the corner of my eye I saw something fall very, very fast right outside my passenger window. Startled, I jerked my head around (quickly enough that it hurt a little) to see what it was.
After a few moments I spotted a large hawk a dozen or so yards away. He was grappling with (okay, mauling) a chipmunk. I assume he speared the little critter right next to my car and ended up where he was after veering out of his nose-dive.
