No, you're not invited to lunch

So I'm sitting at my desk when I glance out the window and see this red-tailed hawk devouring what I assume is what's left of a pigeon. The neighbors have told me from time to time that a hawk has swooped down and taken a pigeon from the park across the street - but this is the first time I've seen anything like this. Naturally, I grab my camera and start taking pictures. I have to take the screen off the window and open it, and it's cold. At one point it even starts snowing. I'm freezing. Then I get the bright idea of taping this, and as I'm running the video, I notice that a squirrel is climbing up the light pole. He goes all the way up to about 3 feet from the hawk, they look at each other, then the squirrel backs off. Because I was going back and forth from video to photos, you get the worst of both worlds here.
