He was comming down to finish it off right when my cousin pulled in and just kept flying.
Most hawks here that we have seen will drop down out of the sky onto thier prey. After nailing thier pray will stay on it until it is dead. Then fly away with the victim to either eat in peace or feed thier young with..
