Red-tailed Hawk dines on rabbit

September 12, 2016 by Tony Leave a Comment

I am sitting here this evening gathering up photos for my annual calendars (and other secret – for now – project). Going through the past year of images I find lots of cool ones, some of which I never shared including this one.

I happened across this raptor dining on the remnants of a bunny in rural Adams County, Colorado in November of last year. It was very intent on finishing it meal, photographer or not, and devoured every last piece of meat it could. A bit gross perhaps but a good example of predator and prey and what goes on every day around us.
