Bird of Prey

A hawk flies in circles, and suddenly he breaks into a swift dive toward a sparrow. He catches the sparrow, and I know that he will rip the little bird into pieces. I see the sparrow caught in the hawk's beak, I hear the sound the small bird makes, a shrill shriek, as the hawk closes his sharp beak, breaking the sparrow's neck.

I can hear it even now.
