200. hawk in the yard

Critters2 -

I was parked on the front porch this early morning, drinking my tea before going to work, and watching a dozen valley quail in the SE corner of my yard.

Caught a shadow out of the corner of my eye.

A Cooper's hawk going about ninety miles an hour 18" off the ground just whacked one of the quail.

And it was all over. That fast.

Cooper's flew up, quail in foot, to a fir tree to eat breakfast.

So, was the Cooper's hawk an oppressor?

Is the natural world not liberty?

Enquiring minds want to know.
