Do you have an idea what species the hawk might be? At this time of year, we have noticed young red tails learning to manage on their own. We actually have some pretty good pictures (taken in the pre-digital era) of a young red tail with a squirrel that it killed in our yard. And one of our neighbors reported a hawk on the ground and called us to ask if it was OK. They sent us their digital pictures and we were able to confirm that it was a red tail.
