Redtail Mouse Attack (6 images)

Squaw Creek NWR

I WAS PHOTOGRAHING THIS REDTAIL HAWK WHEN HE SUDDENLY TOOK
INTEREST IN SOMETHING ON THE GROUND BELOW. HE DOVE FROM
HIS PERCH WITH WINGS FOLDED. I WAS LUCKY TO CAPTURE THIS
HIGH SPEED DIVE. AT THE LAST MOMENT, HE FLARED HIS WINGS
AND LANDED ON THE GROUND. HE MUST HAVE MISSED, BUT TRIED
TWICE TO GRAB HIS PREY, FAILED AND FLEW OFF.. AMAZING!!
