Warning! Red Tail Hawk

Dennis Kaczor

Graphic Images

This morning went to the park with hopes of seeing the King Fisher there again, which I did, but they sure stayed there distance this time around. But the good news is that the hawks oput on a show for me, and ended up with tons of images. Here the hawk is eating a pigeon it caught.

After a while, there was a younger hawk that showed up in the tree, and when this one was done and took off, the younger hawk came down about 15 minutes later, and grabbed what was left and took off with it, too bad no keeper images of that.....

That red tailed hawk had some mighty fine eatin.' Good job capturing what a red tailed hawk does best.

Although I'd prefer 'non-dining' shots, those are pretty cool Dennis.

Hi Stephen, he/she was going to town on this poor bird, and it was sure enjoying the meal, and you are right this is what they do best.

Hi Bud, I hear what you are saying that is why I put the warning up, and thanks for your comments, and glad you found them cool.

Thanks Glenn for your comments and I agree with you there, but it was fun shooting on this day.

Dennis... what an awesome series. I haven't seen a good series with this behavior in a while. Thank you for posting even though they are graphic.

Hi Leah, thanks for the kind words and the comments on this series. That is why I posted the warning in the title, so that members would know that these are not the normal shots of hawks.

Thanks again.
