Incredibly sharp in download. Great detail. I have never seen a Red Tail with a bird. In fact our birds don't even try to hide or disappear when one comes near.
There is however, a gray and white hawk or falcon that will catch them.

Quite extraordinary to have this little guy hunting right at the source. If only an unruly squirrel had come along. Thanks for letting me see your work.

This often visitor to my backyard really likes my new bird feeder.
Are you sure it's your new bird feeder? It looks more like he's claimed it! Great photo, looks even better in download!

The 70% mortality rate is very sad to hear about, but it's reassuring to hear that they aren't a serious danger to the smaller birds. We have one that shows up occasionally. He lands on top of the pole that some of our feeders are hanging from. Then bounces over to one of our patio tables or up on a fence. I've never seen him catch another bird, but I did get a shot of him launching off a fence before disappearing into a hedge that usually has a wide assortment of smaller birds. Never saw him come out, hopefully he was after a rodent.

Thank you for your observations. I have never seen this one go after a bird; he just stands there and dives for worms and small critters. He is a frequent visitor.
