You are absolutely correct, this bird is very much alive and vital. I watched him/her for a long time and have seen what it does to its food. I would not want to be on the receiving end of the food chain.
This Hawk was on the alert the entire time I watched it. Even when it was not eating something, it continued to watch for other prey (along with keeping an eye on me too).
I think hawks are majestic. We love to watch for them whenever we travel the I-5 freeway. They love to sit on the fences that run along the freeway next to open fields. Love this shot and the bokeh effect.

ReplyDeleteI agree with you Donna. I love watching Hawks, they are very beautiful, smart, and extremely efficient.
DeleteI'll just echo what others have said, John. Nothing original from me today. It is a good picture, though. Wish I had taken it.
