Confrontation

Yesterday a resident alerted me to a confrontation that was taking place in "E" courtyard.  I hurried up there, but by the time I arrived this young red-tailed hawk was sitting on a chimney.

In a nearby tree, this squirrel was chewing him out.  I suspect that there had been an unsuccessful hunt due to the hawk's immaturity.  But as he grows and matures he will take a few squirrels in the future.
I will be on vacation for the next week, look for a new blog after October 7th.
