An additional post for this Friday afternoon.
Betty and I went out to feed the horses this afternoon. As we walked to the stable Morgunn and Sugar came running from the back which was pretty cool in itself.
But as Sugar approached her stall a big hawk came flying out of her stall with something in its claws. Sure enough we walked into the stall with Sugar and she was sniffing a huge pile of small, gray feathers.
Our best guess is the hawk chased a bird, probably a quail, into the stall, cornered it and killed it. After plucking the bird the hawk was enjoying its meal when it heard us walking up and chose to take its meal with him to find a quieter place to eat.
It’s a never ending surprise some times and I didn’t have my camera with me.

The hawk...minus it's meal would have been cool to see.

Now you're sounding like Mark with these grand stories with no photographic proof. ;)
I know the feeling Dan, I've often been caught out without my camera too ~ at least you still have the moment to look back upon on.
