Today I watched and listened to an immature Red-tailed Hawk rip and eat a 
gray squirrel.  It was on the ground in the median of Joppafarm Road accross 
from the back parking lot of the former Superfresh Supermarket.  It was just 
a few feet from the road.  The hawk was alert and aware of the cars whizzing 
past.  A woman speaking on her cell phone crossed the road and came within 
15 feet of the hawk.  It did not move.  Musta been hungry.  I wonder if it 
was road kill, and if the hawk had its road kill recipes handy.
