for anybody not on raptors tribe...this is NOT my own story but from the Mendobirds list and amazing to picture

September 11, 2007 - This is just for curiosity's sake ...yesterday,
here at UC-Hopland REC I observed a mature Golden Eagle swooped down
in front of my vehicle and nab a mature Red-shouldered Hawk as it
left it's perch on a large oak limb. Both birds continued to the
ground with the Red-shouldered screaming. The eagle left, maybe due
to the presence of the vehicle, and the hawk lowered itself into the
grass. I thought that the hawk was probably dying but upon
inspection it seemed rather alert & perky. I left it in an open box
hoping that it might recover and fly away ...but it perished. It is
now destined to be a museum study-skin specimen here at HREC. Good
birding - Bob Keiffer.
