Hi Beverly, thanks for reading, we were amazed at the tenacity of the squirrel and couldn’t believe how close he got to the Red Shoulder hawk!
The squirrel did indeed look like an adult so I guess the hawk would have backed down…

Have never had a Red Shoulder go after a fully adult squirrel. I have never seen one take a baby squirrel, although I’m sure they would if presented with the opportunity. Don’t think the hawk would tackle the adult squirrel.

Hi Eileen, thanks for reading, we really did enjoy watching such a beautiful bird. It ate about three small snakes in the short time that we watched it. I had no idea there were so many snakes in our yard!

Hooray for the hawk. Taking snakes just like he is supposed to.
