While walking my dog this morning in the Clintonville neighborhood of Columbus, I watched a red-shouldered hawk capture and eat a small rodent. They nest in Wahalla Ravine about a mile to the south, but this is the first time I've seen one in the immediate neighborhood.

It was a small consolation for being unable to attend the Columbus Avids trip.
