i was hiking and 10 feet in front of me this hawk swoops down and grabbed his lunch then flew off,as i was walking down the trail he was sitting on this stump with his lunch(poor squirrel)..he sat there and let me take a lot of pics,then flew off again..if that little squirrel was still moving i wouldnt of takin the pics,i would of been crying.

Love this photo. Great shot. Awesome
I’m wanting to believe that the squirrel is just playing dead : ( Or maybe I could just say the nice big bird is telling him a nap time story? Amazing picture – nature just isn’t always beautiful.
