The Hawk at ASU

This hawk hangs out on the campus of ASU every other year. We have a lot of squirrels on campus, and the population seems to rise and fall in sync with his appearance. Today however, he caught a kitten instead of a squirrel. He flew over the yard with it, and some students threw rocks to scare him away. It was too late however as the kitten was already dead. A student picked up the cat and laid it down under the tree the hawk had perched in, shortly thereafter the hawk swooped down to eat his kill. He worked on it until he got tired of people crowding around, but I was amazed I managed to get this close.
