Anything that eats rodents like squirrels is OK in my book.

Here, here.
Q: What's the difference between a sewer rat and a squirrel?
A: A squirrel has a better publicist.
Nice pics and glad to see the squirrel get caught...I hate squirrels...the tree rats did $500 worth of damage to my roof 8 years ago.

Please allow me to point out that the topic is absolutely not "OT". One of the reasons we do this silly sport is to be able to see and enjoy exactly this kind of sight.

Here in AZ have had a large hawk visit our birdbath for at least 7 continuous years.
Easy to recognize as it has a leg band; must've been hurt and been rehabed and then released.
Tends to sit in middle of the large birdbath and usually pulls up one leg. Every so often takes a rather messy water-throwing bath and will stick around for a half hour or more.
Last year a 2nd, and younger, hawk showed up (girlfriend?).
This year have had 3 different hawks in birdbath at different times and seen a another really big dark one hanging around in one of our Afghan pine trees.
They seem to be not at all shy but do scare away other birds when they are about.
They can make a hell of a shrieking noise if surprised!
