Ain't he a beaut? The biggest, fattest red-tailed hawk I've seen in a long time. Right across the street from the Omni. Hunting must be good downtown -- pigeons, squirrels, small yappy dogs....
While we watched, something caught his attention.
And he launched himself at a squirrel in a nearby tree.
The squirrel was lucky -- the hawk missed, just barely. But there will be other opportunities, other squirrels, a fat pigeon perhaps, and if he's lucky, a small tourist....
