This guy or lady, was right outside the office building having lunch. I walked within 15 ft when it flew to a nearby mesquite tree. Grabbed the camera and this is what I got. Don't even know what kind of hawk. |

| Looks like a Sharp Shinned Hawk but it is to big. And this is where they winter.... |

The lunch in the claw was a dove but I think it was about 16-18 in tall on the limb |

| I don't know what kind is or she is but I have two that hunt around my bird feeder up here in Conroe. I had one fly into my fence last year and broke his wing. The cat's got him from next door. |

No pics except the one in my head from maybe six weeks ago...
While entering my street to go home I saw, about five feet above the vehicle, out front about twenty, a hawk with a dove in tow moving across from left to right, fast and flapping . Obvious fresh kill. Gone in the wink of an eye. The smile remains the same.
I said dang that is neat.
Then I went home.
Very nice Uncle D.
