Squirrel for Breakfast

There I was, walking up the Bankhead Trail and I see two Bard Owls tussling.  It's Spring so I'm not sure what they were on about but they broke apart and this one flew even closer to me.  I never did catch on — my eyesight just isn't that good anymore.  Besides, I was too busy taking pictures.  Turns out, this one had caught a squirrel for breakfast.  So it was a food fight.

In Monte Sano State Park, Huntsville, Alabama.
