Swainson's Hawk

Swainson's hawk with ground squirrel pup: pen and ink At work, downward brown:
A young hawk pins a young squirrel.
The Swainson’s hawk wins.

(Drawn VERY fast — the hawk stayed maybe 30 seconds before dragging the squirrel to the right then flying up onto the wire. This is the advantage of having sketching material to hand by the window…)
