Hawk slays small animal
PHILADELPHIA – A small animal - likely a squirrel - was brutally murdered by an unidentified Coopers Hawk at approximately 8AM this morning. The violence occurred in an unnamed alley near the 1900 block of Pine Street in center city Philadelphia. The motive was apparently hunger as the hawk spent the 45-60 minutes consuming the unidentified animal.
The hawk lingered on a fencepost after finishing its meal, scanning the alley and even unsuccessfully attacking a second squirrel. The hawk then defecated on a patio and was last seen heading east. The following photographs were captured throughout the incident:
