Who me?

A young Red-Tailed Hawk has a bit of a guilty look, perhaps due to the fact it had just killed a #prairie #dog and was chowing down on it for lunch. You don’t have to go to far outside the Denver metro area to find prairie dog colonies and when you do, you can bet there are raptors nearby keeping watch. I absolutely loved the look on this ones face. Notice the blood on its face and also notice the rodent lying at its feet / talons.
