Hawk Hunting Breakfast

We take a short break from politics to segue into nature. My front yard seems to be a hunting place for hawks. This morning there was a big one perching in the tree right outside my office window. There is another, larger, tree in my front yard that we jokingly call the "Bird Condo" since it has so many sparrows living in it. The hawk seems to have realized this and decided to try and do breakfast in the front yard. Check out the talons on that hawk. I think he could have carried off the neighborhood cats without any problem. The last picture is the best.
