Merry Christmas to you! Agreed. The youngster had a bold personality. He/she would do just fine in NYC.

I won’t pretend to know the Hawk’s intentions but the Hawk was definitely not hunting the squirrels. It looked like taunting and play. Squirrels often charge at/bully young Hawks in the trees. They are extremely bold about it. Their actions appear territorial rather than playful.

Do animals play at the chase or is the appearance of fun and games , really the livelihood of finding lunch on a tree limb?
In your last frame the youngster sits so erect and Proud.
