A young Red-tailed with a great dinner!

This looked like a first-year bird, we watch it hunt for about an hour, working the fields while perching on the hydro wires and poles.

Maria and I watched it dive down into the brush, so I drove in for a closer look. With both cameras and lenses clicking, we virtually caught the same image!

The first bite!

First, came the head of the vole. then the rest of the bits and pieces! It didn't take long, and the meal was devoured. I will not soon forget how happy Maria was to have caught a nice image of this feast.

You can see her shot in her own gallery located at the bottom of my main page here on this website.

We hope to go back up soon!



Thanks for looking!
