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.

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!!!

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.

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.
