Red-Tailed And Prey ...

“Nature can seem cruel, but she balances her books.”

      ~ Alison Lurie

~Pulitzer Prize winning American novelist

        ~ born 1926 

I love nature, but it can be cruel, such as in seeing this red-tailed hawk and its prey – a squirrel – on an early September evening in the waning summer at Trexler Memorial Park, Allentown, Pennsylvania.

I was lucky enough to capture several shots of the hawk as it had its supper – though I felt so sorry for the squirrel! This was the last photo I snapped, the only one where the hawk looked up and straight at me, as if to say don’t come near my prey!
