Red-tailed hawk lunch

Very gratifying to see a pair of Red-tailed hawks fly screeching over my backyard, the first trailing a fluffy squirrel tail from its talons, the second making the racket. They flew across the street into an oak grove, the squirrel-holder in a wide tree-crotch and the other about 30' away, watching for an opportunity. After a few initial bites, the lucky one flew a few hundred feet to a more remote perch, followed by the other about 2 minutes later.
