I didn't take this photo. My daughter-in-law took it with her iPhone.

She, and the grandsons and the family dog, were at a place where there
were chickens. While they were standing there, this hawk plummeted
down and grabbed a chicken.

The dog - a 90 pound Catahoula - lunged at the hawk and knocked it
down. The chicken escaped.

Not a great photo for detail, but a view of a hawk not usually seen.

It looks quite indignant. :-)

Well, it's not dignified to get knocked down by a dog.

My wife thinks it looks embarrassed.
