yesterday during my round we saw a hawk take down it's prey(pigeon) and proceeded to have lunch right in front of us. was interesting to see. got a pretty good pic too.

Nuts. Just as well, I hate pidgeons,

Great pic! It's like a National Geographic special right in front of you. I've seen that as well out on the course, except it was an unlucky chipmunk that got taken out. A little sad for chippy, but cool to see anyway.

wish i could've gotten a shot of the eagle grabbing fish from the water hazard. happens too quick though.

Hey NVM,

Great photo (and quick thinking to get the photo). A good example of the food chain at work.

Did you manage to be like the Hawk & get your own birdie on that hole?

Nice capture.

A friend and I came over a hill to find two young red foxes playing last summer at Petrifying Springs GC between Kenosha and Racine. They stopped as we drove by (only about 10 yards away) and then they went back to playing after we passed. It was pretty cool.

We have to get True to post his golfing-with-kangaroo shots here. They're supposed to be pretty nasty critters.

You meant these ones Claire?

... or perhaps some 'Kangaroo love' by Rory Sabbatini a couple of years ago.

To get even more off topic, I have an older friend who used to be a "carny" and would wrestle animals on the county fair circuts. He said that bears were usually easy to beat but the biggest ass whooping he ever took in his life was from a kangaroo.

Those are they, True--with your lady friend swinging as if nothing were going on.

Except for the lecherous guy behind the camera.
