War / by Dave Hileman

The Coopers Hawk landed on this tree about 20 feet lower and then the Ahinga started hissing at it but when the hawk flew up the Ahinga squawked and fussed but still took off leaving most of a fish behind. The hawk then settled in to finish the seafood dinner. All this happened at Silver Springs State Park while I was in a kayak tying to keep things still for the photo. Only partially succeeded. Was neat to see.
