Photo: Diane Edwardson, September 9, 2015. When I shot these photos, I thought something was odd about the way the hawk was perched atop the big pine tree near the top of Corralitas, So I zoomed all the way in. Unfortunately, the first photo (above) was the best I could do. Plus, this appears to be a very mature hawk, that's why I thing it's a squirrel. The younger hawks don't seem to catch squirrels easily. Additionally, I know this hawk has been hanging around the top of Corrallitas near the construction site, scoping it out for rats.
