An immature Cooper's Hawk caught a squirrel just after I pulled into the parking, then headed to a tree right in front of my car.

Didn't realize that I was in crop mode - Saw the whole bird in the viewfinder, but didn't notice the crop guides so I accidentally cut off the tip of the tail. Handheld, 20 minutes before sunrise. Shot from behind the back corner of my car as a blind, 270mm at 1/500 sec, f/5.6, auto iso 8000 (such good low light capability!), processed in LR and Topaz Denoise
