Great series of story shots. Very interesting and surprising the RTH did not fight to keep his catch.

He really did not need to fight, Hereford! He was in control til he clearly had enough. I read a book on falconry and learned that if a hawk eats too much, it has trouble getting off the ground. Seems true.

The interplay between raptors usually shares more than one storyline. Three species, three stories. Congrats for having the patience, but then, that is nothing new for your eyes to see through the lens.
Thank you, CanonShot!

When we pulled up on the auto-tour, we just saw the Red-tailed Hawk enjoying it's lunch. Then, we continued to watch as the drama played out. I am becoming fascinated by bird behavior.

Very nice--not for the eaten, but for the photography!
