Juvenile Red-tailed Hawk catches its lunch

January 24, 2015 by Tony Leave a Comment

I didn’t have much luck for pics today – until the very end. While waiting for new tires to be put on my truck, I went to a nearby park, camera in hand of course. I was lucky enough to come across a juvenile Red-tailed Hawk just as it was snatching a mouse from a bush. It didn’t take but a few minutes for it to devour the whole thing. Very cool to watch.
