Probably alot. The hawk population seems to be getting pretty out of control. I think they will be going after kittycats and poodles before long.

Some birders told me of an incident where a Bald Eagle grabbed a dachshund and carried it aloft. The bird changed its mind or lost its grip, and the dog fell from a height which would have been lethal for a human, but survived after healing from numerous puncture wounds.

I watched a Red Tailed hawk pick up a squirrel off the ground and he got about 20 in the air before the squirrel wiggled free and fell. The squirrel was stunned but managed to hobble off. I would have had to have a camera in my hand and focused to catch it on tape. I thank God every day for the natural world around us, it is fascinating.
