Harlan's Red-Tailed Hawk juv. _64A9989
San Pedro House, AZ
Gale force winds today on our road trip which really dampened any quality bird photo opportunities, but did manage a couple. This very obliging hawk caught some sort of rodent and ate it in front of us and then dashed off after another. He missed and then sat on the ground pondering life while I shot away. He eventually lifted up into the tree to bounce up and down in the wind storm while we called it a day and headed to Bisbee.
