Chipmunk Hawk

Did you know chipmunks have a special warning call for aerial predators?  I didn't either.  But I heard so many of them making the same noise the other morning, I looked it up. (YouTube it.)  Ever since, when I hear that call start up, I look for owls.  Or hawks.  I think this one is a broad-winged hawk.  I'm sure someone will let me know if I'm wrong. 

On the Bankhead Trail in Monte Sano State Park, Huntsville, Alabama.
