[Amanda Sanford <ajsanford@xxxxxxxxx>]

I was sitting here checking my email and looking at the little birds at the 
feeder, cardinals, tufted titmouse, chickadee, and a couple of juncos catching 
the flyaway seeds,  and I saw a red shouldered hawk sitting in a dead tree 
above the pond in our backyard. I grabbed my camera and got one shot of him, 
then he swooped down, grabbed a fish and landed in a tree across the pond and 
ate it. I got several shots, none very noteworthy, but it was pretty cool.  
It's the first time I've seen him make a kill. It's presumably the same bird 
we've seen a couple times before.
