Nature, red in tooth and claw
We have a seed feeder and a suet feeder for birds in the back yard that Grandpa Swift bought and hung in a couple trees with McKenzie and Casey, so we usually have a fair number of birds around. The other day a hawk snagged a robin out there. The hawk was pretty wary so I wasn't able to get as good a picture as I would have liked. We were able to watch it eat that robin from the downstairs window. It was either an immature Sharpshinned or an immature Cooper's hawk. The coloring is pretty much identical at that stage, so hard to know for sure.

I am going to set up four or five birdhouses around the yard and hopefully some red-tailed hawk will see a cardinal as a meal and instead find a delicious feline meal.
My parents have a birdfeeder in their back yard. It's really cool because the neighborhood cats hang around so that they can snag the unwary birds. But what's even cooler than that is that there's a hawk that comes along and snags the unwary neighborhood cats.
