We can get some wind here, from time to time. Today at work it was blowing in gusts up to 62 mph. I saw something I hadn't seen before. A red-tail hawk was hunting and had grabbed a rabbit and was flying off. (I've seen that part before). He got about 12 feet off the ground and was having a hard time with a kicking bunny and strong cross winds. The bunny started rocking side to side in the wind and the hawk dropped him. The rabbit hit the ground running and made it to his hole before the rapter knew what happened. For the next 15 min the bird kept coming back and searching the area for his lunch that got away.
I only wish I had got it on video.
