Well it seems that the predators are hungry in your area this spring.  You be careful with that cat running around

Nice photos Charles - if you look in the second squirrel / hawk photo you can actually see the hawk still there, flying off - right in front of a tree just in front of the fence, between 11 and 12 o'clock. You can see it if you look carefully but it might be a little more obvious when you zoom to full size were you can very easily see the stripes of the tail feathers and wing shape

I am always careful when I am out and about, whether it is in the woods or the concrete jungle.  And I am always armed.  I am more likely to have a close encounter of the skunk kind than meeting up with that cat.  Twice I have gotten too close for comfort with skunks while hunting.  And once I think I might have been stalked by a coyote.  I was walking to my deer stand in the dark.  My backside had no sooner touched the seat in the stand when a coyote howled right outside it.  It was so loud and so close I nearly jumped out of my skin!

I don't think I ever would have noticed that if Allan hadn't pointed it out.  My eyes aren't what they used to be.  Actually I don't think they ever were what they used to be!  LOL
