tagged together in 8 photos squirrel + dead Oh, shit is he looking at us? Let's GTFO of here, Maddy! And your little dog too! Not used to see hardcore predation on a Monday afternoon! Look at his bloody beak! He was tearing off pieces... ...and gobbling them down like the steely-eyed raptor he is. Later that evening, while walking Maddy in Tompkins Square Park, I watched one of the resident hawks swoop down and nab an unlucky squirrel. ...she found these gruesome remains of a squirrel who'd recently been nabbed by one of the local golden-tailed hawks! Gnarly! Sad and beautiful. Walking through Stuytown later in the afternoon I came across a a dead baby squirrel (with a fly already on its mouth) that must've fallen out of the trees above.
