Just got this photo. I was out on the patio smoking a cigarette as I seen this hawk fly by chasing another bird and he caught him out of the air and landed on this little fence and started to eat dinner. I was amazed that I see that right here in front of me.
I am so pumped for this, I mean I have spend a lot of time in nature and never actually seen a hawk catch a bird mid flight. I have seen them eating after the catch but to actually see it happen was pretty amazing. I know some of you might feel bad for the smaller bird but that is nature at its best right there.
I know the quality of the picture is not great, I was just trying to get a decent shot off before the hawk flew off. It was a good thing cause I grabbed my camera quick and popped off a few shots and the hawk took off.

Yes I did and the hawk was not happy at all.

@Bensen32 this is really a rare bird to be sighted in the city like this.

@amitkokiladitya In the place I live you see them once in a while not very often. They tend to be more in the rural areas.

That is bird cunning and wise hunter for its prey. By the way, what's the difference between a hawk and an eagle?

@Bensen32 You're right. Eagle is robust than the hawk.
