This redtailed hawk grabbed a large snake, wrestled with it for about ten minutes and finally had it for lunch, but not without a fight!

Amazing capture! I have never seen any raptor situation like that.
Think about submitting to Nature magazine, or similar.

Coachwhip? I can not identify the snake, but from the build and length, and general cranky nature, I would tend to think so.
Nice work, stunning actually.
I would submit to magazines, very likely to be published, once I n a lifetime opportunity and you nailed it.
"Chance favors the prepared mind"

changed my mind, on second look Black Racer looks right
