A Hunting Lesson

One day at a Natural Reserve just out of town, we witnessed a Red-tailed Hawk hunting a rodent for the first time.



That sunny, warm morning, he was sunbathing and cleaning the feathers earlier.  After we made a walk around and upon our return,  so did the hawk return back to the same tree.

Then, he was ready to jump off the tall branch right in front of our eyes.





Just for a short moment he hovered over the field.




And he darted to grab a victim (a rodent) and gulped in a second.


"Ummm, delicious!"
