Title: Mother Nature is a bitch... Post by: Snackcakes on December 18, 2008, 06:37:33 PM So coming back from lunch we spotted a hawk outside the building perched about 8-10 ft in a tree eating this squirrel. It was a pretty intense sight. Check it out.

Post by: Jim Tressel on December 18, 2008, 09:36:44 PM It's worth noting that the branch this thing was perched on was only about 10 feet off the ground and there were a dozen of us standing within 15 feet watching and laughing. The hawk was completely unfazed. Those things are fucking hardcore!!!

Title: Re: Mother Nature is a bitch... Post by: Aldoran on December 18, 2008, 09:53:56 PM Hawks are 95% Muscle, 12% Talons and razor beak, and 28% distilled essence of Badass. Yes, that's 135%, you gonna tell him he's wrong?
Seriously, these things are the Vin Diesels of the animal kingdom. Also, "Squirrel, it's what's for dinner". Title: Re: Mother Nature is a bitch... Post by: BCBrent on December 18, 2008, 11:30:29 PM That is amazing. Very nice photography.
Title: Re: Mother Nature is a bitch... Post by: Snackcakes on December 19, 2008, 12:10:56 AM yeah it was pretty cool. a guy i work with took the pics with a 10 mega pixel digital cam, not sure on the brand. it is one of the cameras we loan out to studens/staff at the university. i did a little searching and apparently it is a red tailed hawk and fairly common in Ohio.
