Red-tailed hawk FINALLY!
I work in a renovated part of the building, with a window behind me looking out into trees (it took eleven years here to get a window that didn't look out onto a dumpster or the interior of the building, but hey...). The now-retired woman whose office had these windows before the renovation had said, I am told, that she was tired of looking out and seeing hawks eating squirrels in the tree.
I have spent SEVEN YEARS (six minus the lockdown year) looking out the window hoping for a hawk. Today my eyes started hurting and I realized I needed to focus on something far away, so stood up and turned around. At that exact moment a hawk swooped into the tree in front of me.
It flew down across the little street for something, but I couldn't see what, then came back and posed for the pics above.
You might have to hunt to see the hawk behind leaves in the upper left, and also the squirrel in the fork of the tree bottom center, yelling at it while the hawk majestically ignores it. The squirrel was shortly joined by a friend.
edit: Here's the pic with the hawk's butt and squirrel pointed out, levels adjusted to hopefully make them easier to see.
