Young Red-tail with Squirrel

Red-tailed hawk with squirrel, pen and ink The young red-tailed hawk that’s been hanging around here finally caught a square meal, a squirrel. I saw it land, drag it up to this post, look around defiantly, and finally fly off with it in the direction of a tall pine.

We got quite a bit of rain today, a steady gentle drizzle. More rain’s expected tomorrow, and possibly thunderstorms. This is good for raptors looking for half-drowned rodents…

  1. Um, interestingly, we caught the same thing the hawk did. The hawk looks a lot more satisfied though. ;)
