Crazy Birds

I was casually sitting at home on a normal Saturday afternoon, working on some homework while  Megan was gone to the store.  All of a sudden, I heard a crash on our front window.  Even though the window didn't break, I thought someone had thrown a rock or something at it.  I glanced out the blinds (they were closed) and didn't see anybody standing outside our house in the process of desecrating our home, so I went out the front door to investigate.

As I walked out on the porch I surprised a hawk which was in the process of claiming it's kill - one of our local blackbirds.  The hawk took off flying with the blackbird hanging upside down beneath the hawk (presumably dead) and I watched it fly across the street and disappear between two houses.  Upon examining the window and the porch I discovered the remnants of the blackbird.  I'm not entirely sure what this is, but my guess it is the partially digested remains of whatever the blackbird was eating before it got surprised.  Also, judging by the angles involved, my guess is the blackbird was sitting on the porch railing and the hawk flew in and grabbed it and the hawk crashed into the window before it could stop or change directions. 

I've seen lots of hawks out here, but this was the first one I've seen near our house.  I was so excited that I've left the blackbird remains on our window as a sort of "I saw a hawk" trophy for myself.
