About 1 PM today, December 17, I saw a very large Red-shouldered Hawk, likely 
female, perched eye level just about 50 feet away.  The reason for this post: a 
little later it vomited, perhaps a half cup of very clear liquid.  I have never 
seen a bird vomit before.  After about 30-40 minutes it dropped down, caught a 
small animal, likely a mouse, and returned to its perch for a meal.
