“Who me? I know nothing about this rabbit that just happens to be lying here.” 😉

My son and I were out for a morning photo excursion yesterday when we spotted this handsome young Red Tailed Hawk standing on the ground out in the open. They rarely do that and we have learned that if they do, it is usually because they are guarding something. Sure enough, on closer inspection we see that it had managed to snag quite a nice-sized meal. We waited and waited hoping it would dig in but it simply sat there watching us, clearly not wanting to eat with an audience.
