Ya know, I'm in this park, probably couple times a week. How come I never se this (so called) "hawk". I'm startin' to have my doubts. some sorta cunspeericee.
Nice pics! Don't worry, hawks don't normally try to catch squirrels under their beaks. They prefer to have the velocity and element of surprise at play to catch smaller prey on the ground (like mice or rats).
It won't be long before this mighty hawk is no longer satisfied with little rats and squirrels... Watch out when you went Tompkins because he could be eyeing you!

Great work as per usual, Bobby. Sort of reminds me of that scene in Predator (the first and best one of the series).
