I'd much rather he was in a tree, but it's a fact of bird life nowadays - they just love perching on man-made things!
Visiting Louisville, Kentucky and got to watch this hawk bring back a mouse to her nest. Didn't get that pic, but at least I got this one.

NOT Harrier! Coyote Hills, Fremont, California. It actually looked like a lot of work for the hawk to eat the snake. Looks like this hawk had the system down though. Little nibbly cuts along the length, fillet, deck out, and eat all the good bits.
It always happens this way. I know when I find a hawk perched he's not going to like it that I am spying on him and he will take off. Happens every time. Funny thing is, I'm never ready with the camera when he actually does leave. Raise camera, focus and shoot, instead of "focus, shoot". Shoot!!
I saw some great birds. An Osprey, Northern Mockingbird, Loggerhead Shrikes, and this beauty ... a Red-tailed Hawk.
Near Castle Craig, one of the highest peaks (approx. 1,000 ft) along the east coast shoreline (i.e., within 25 miles of the coast), according to the plaque at the site. More info :
Am used to seeing great variation in Red-tailed Hawk plumages, but this one caught my eye.

TRUCKEE, Calif. — A red-tailed hawk leaves a snowy perch at the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' Martis Creek Lake here Jan. 7, 2011. Corps natural resources management specialists photographed the bird during the National Midwinter Bald Eagle Survey, an annual, nationwide effort coordinated by the Corps to monitor and document bald eagle populations in the contiguous United States. Corps parks throughout California are participating in the survey, scheduled to last through Jan. 12. (U.S. Army Corps of Engineers photo)
