ducbucln, It actually came from behind me, My small patio is behind my house and he came up from the front
yard somewhere and swooped in between my nieghbors home and mine, I think thats why he attacked the squirrel with me being there, He didn't see me untill he was doing the actual attack, To which is was all over in a few seconds. Then surprisingly, He flew to the back of the backyard trees which is about 100 ft away. I ran in to get my camera and thought for sure he would fly off when he seen me bringing it out, But, He didn't, He stayed for a short period. Even in the tree, He seemed so huge, If you look at his claws on the the squirrels body, It gives yo an idea of how huge he was, But, seeing him as close as I did, He sure looked a whole lot bigger!!

Loonie1, Your Welcome! I know he will be back, There are a lot of squirrels here, And once they know where a food source is, They stick around. We have an Albino hawk that comes around alot, ( I call him WhiteHawk) I didn't think he would survive long being the color that he is, But, He has been around for 3 years and he looks like he's doing good!
Heres a photo of him with his capture.
