Red-tailed Hawk Hunting Critters

This very pretty Red-tailed Hawk was hunting rodents from it's perch in a seasonally-bare tree at Ridgefield National Wildlife Refuge last Friday. It repeatedly dove at critters in the weeds and then returned to this perch. Guess it was happy with it's perch!

 

Thanks for all of the very nice compliments below. This was really a beautiful bird that we were so happy to be able to share with you all...
