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.
