That is cool. Love watching birds of prey in action. Saw an owl carrying a rabbit fly right across the road in front of me once. The rabbit was damn near as big as the owl. Don't know what his air speed velocity was, but, it was definitely of the laden variety. Another time I watched a red tail hawk dive bomb a squirrel. Unfortunately the squirrel's air search radar was working and he ran under a park bench just in time.

Happens in my backyard. Shit-ton of redtails around here. Pretty much on every other light pole on I-5.
See all kinds of that shit fishing on the river. A couple of years ago, saw a bald eagle absolutely FUCK UP an osprey that was getting in the way of some mating ritual. If you're ever betting on a bird fight, baldies and osprey are like the 1-16 matchup. Had both pull fish out right next to the boat. Makes more noise than one would think.
