I'd been noticing that the stray cat and squirrel populations around the apartment complex seemed to be dropping. I wonder if this guy perched on the light pole next to our apartment building is the reason why? I know broad-winged hawks are one of the smaller raptors, but they're not much smaller than red-tailed hawks, and we used to watch red-tails hunt rabbits in the vacant lot next to the NPS regional office in Omaha. If a red-tail can carry off an adult cottontail rabbit, I don't think a broad-wing would have much of a problem with a kitten.
