This is a question from my sister-in-law in Harrisonburg....   Any ideas?
Thanks,
Lois
About a week ago, the kids were outside and thought they saw a hawk in our 
trees.  We looked in a bird book, and they thought it looked like a red-tailed 
hawk.  (I didn't see it, so don't know for sure).  Anyway, Fri night around 
9:30 p.m. I heard a terrible squawking outside (sounded like a hawk--in my 
limited knowledge).  Couldn't see anything from the windows, and I didn't go 
out to 
look.  The next morning when we went outside there was a dead rabbit by our 
front steps...looked like hawk damage (top of neck & head).  My question is, 
will hawks hunt at night???   There was a full moon that was giving a lot of 
light that night.   I couldn't find my answer in the encyclopedia, so I'm going 
to a more knowledgeable source!  Hope you can help my curiosity.  I saw a hawk 
soaring in our neighborhood on Saturday morning, but don't know enough to 
identify from the ground.
