Lunch Time
Sometimes you are just in the right spot at the right time. This Red-Tailed Hawk was in the middle of eating lunch. We have no idea what he was eating but it was gray and furry. The Red-Tailed Hawk’s Diet varies with location and season. Mammals such as voles, rats, rabbits, and ground squirrels are a major prey; However, it also eats many birds (up to the size of a pheasant). and reptiles, especially snakes. But whatever it was, our taking his portrait did not deter him from enjoying it. Once he tired of our intrusion he fixed the prey securely in his talons and off he flew.
