Hawk takes shelter in a thick-leaved tree while eating its prey. 

 It often attacks and captures squirrels and other small 

 quadrupeds as well as birds larger than itself. Its boldness 

 and courage command our admiration, but its destructive 

 nature places it beyond favorable comment. Its note is a 

 sharp and shrill whistle which is seldom heard.
