 * One day I was playing tennis and my eye caught something in the air. I thought the bird was a Buteo, and I was amazed by the size of the massive bird. It was one of the most elegant things I have ever seen. I saw that the Buteo had something in its talons and at first I thought it was a squirrel, but when I looked closer I knew it was a rabbit. It was a great experience and I hope I see it again one day.**

Last year, I was in science class and as Mrs. Joloza dismissed us, I saw a red tailed hawk. I called mrs.Jaloza over yelling there was a red tailed attacking a squrrel. Everyone rushed to the window as the hawk was circleing the squirrel. Suddenly, the Hawk swooped down grasping the squerrel ripping it in half eating each peice one by one.

 * One day when I was outside I saw a red-tailed hawk. I knew it was a red-tailed hawk because it had a reddish-brown fanned tail and broad rounded wings. It was just soaring over my back yard until it made its move toward the ground. I didn't know exactly what it was doing, but I thought it was holding something when it flew away.**
