Wow that one of the red tail flyng off with the squirrel.  That must have been cool.  Did you see it grab the squirrel?

We should rent him out to people having squirrel problems with their bird feeders.

I was sitting in the car when these 2 Redtails showed up, they were sitting for the longest time in a tree then when I got out of the car to get a closer pic they both jumped up the bigger one had the squirrel unfortunetley I had my camera set to take stationery pics and not on shutter priority or else I would have caught some great pics...I hate the squirrels messing with my birdfeeder too but this is the second time I have seen a squirrel get picked off by a Redtail and to be honest I would not wish that on any squirrel, but it is nature and the Hawks have to eat....

Colin, the last shot is incredible. I didn't know they had flying squirrels in T.O.

Great variety of shots Colin!  Is Mount Pleasant Cemetery worth a visit (for birding!)?  I have noted a few people go there.

Colin,
All of these shots are fantastic.
I will have to say the Mockingbird picture is my favorite.

Fantastic shots, I like the Mocking Bird pic, but the hawk with the squirrel is outstanding, great work.
