While walking on the Belle Meade Golf Course in Nashville this weekend just
after sunset, I saw a number of Black-Crowned Herons in the creek, which is
very low. I returned the next evening and saw an adult with an immature. When
leaving, I rounded a corner and came face to face with a Red-tailed Hawk who
was in the process of eating a squirrel on the ground. I froze in my tracks and
watched for at least 5 minutes from a mere 4 or 5 feet away. Occasionally he
would stop and check me out, then return to eating. Definitely the closest
encounter I've ever had with a wild hawk!
