I saw a hawk feasting on a pigeon outside my window at work recently...it was pretty gory, as you said, sounds of bones cracking and all.
Saw the same red-tailed hawk a few months ago in the parking lot between cars, standing on top of a screaming live crow that was soon to be a meal. The hawk had its wings spread and drooped...the crow knew it was dead meat, was quivering and making awful noises. I did feel kind of bad for the crow.
It is good to be at the top of the food chain...:)
Yup. My cats would make a meal out of me if they were that big.
