Jude finally got up around 7 a.m. and we drove up a ‘day use’ road to make Day Camp. We were the only ones there—we never even heard another car all day long. A sign was posted about BEARS in the area, but Jude felt no need to sing the “Don’t-Eat-Me-Brother-Bear” song.
Jude went for a hike and crossed into the Yosemite Wilderness Area. She saw a hawk dive from the sky and land on a red squirrel, clutching it in a death grip. The hawk didn’t fly off with its catch, but immediately started pecking at the squirrel’s head and eating it on the spot. Jude figured that was so the squirrel wouldn’t get a chance to bite the hawk and maybe get away. This all happened about 15-20 feet from where Jude was sitting quietly.
