Red Tail hawk with newly caught Starling

It was exciting to watch this hawk catch the starling from a flock that was in a grape field. You can see a grape leaf in it's talons along with the starling.

Another excellent shot! I like that you caught him looking towards you.

Looks like a high voltage personality.

Doesn't look like he's too worried about the voltage!

Great catch. Looks like he even caught a bit of leaves along with the bird.
