This guy/lady showed up in the back yard very quietly as usual. She sat on this perch for several minutes, really only a few feet away from the 'birdbush' which was filled with sparrows sitting pretty darn quietly! Then in just a heartbeat, she flew into the bush (a very hard right and backwards) and then came back to sit on the fence with a bird in her claws! A very quick and unexpected move. After a couple of moves to settle the food into the correct position, she flew off for her dinner!
As a friend once said, in the outdoors, you are either eating or being eaten!

Well, that was a pretty awful end of the story.....I bet the predator will be back.
We can't have a birdfeeder anymore. The bears got in our yard and 'wow!' what mess....and the damage!! We miss our feeder.
btw....another great photo!
