TURKEY vs. HAWK vs. FALCON SMACKDOWN 2020!!
The large hawk was spotted after a heavy downpour on the ground as if it had caught something (inspection of the area found nothing). A hen turkey made her entrance, approaching the hawk as she ruffled her feathers, spread her wings, and charged (image 2). The hawk retreats to a nearby perch when the turkey's tag team partner dives in squawking repeatedly, a falcon (I believe) (image 5). After falling back, the hawk holds its ground in a treetop, but the falcon presists, trying to get the hawk in the air so it can take it on in the falcon's element. The cycle of squawking in trees then retreating to other trees repeats until both are out of view. The turkey seems to be the true victor, the hawk will likely want a rematch, and I'm pretty sure that falcon threw a folding chair.

I know you can't really tell in the pictures, but they were far more clear in person. The area is absolutely full of them.

Only saw it because it moved. At first I had no idea what it was.
