Hoyt Field Hawk

We were out with the kids at the playground at Hoyt today when I saw a BIG Hawk swoop low over the baseball field - Em saw it too & said that it was carrying a rodent as it flew - Then it went really high & dropped what it was holding. But that wasn't the end - the hawk came back into the field & started eating the rat it had dropped (presumably to kill or stun it).

We ran over - cause we are like that... and we got within a few feat of the Hawk as it leisurly ate its dinner - phone pix follow - don't look if you don't want to see dead Rodent.
